# Medical Imaging with Ultrasound - Xilinx FPGA Solution
https://www.xilinx.com/applications/medical/medical-imaging-ultrasound.html

Create the next generation high image-quality ultrasound scanners for better diagnosis with superior thermal management for patient comfort.

Next generation Ultrafast imaging in ultrasound is a paradigm shift, where we can go from the normal sequential acquisition to a parallel acquisition of the whole plane, using either spherical or plane waves. This gives our customers the ability to do optimally focused images everywhere in the captured image, deliver extremely high-quality 3D/4D images and the ability to obtain thousands of images per second.

## Xilinx Versal (dual CA72)

Xilinx ACAP platforms like the AI Edge and the AI Core devices with its AI Engine based architecture are capable of delivering a beamformer running synthetic aperture or planar wave algorithms with 128 active elements and 200 lines of resolution on a single chip, and still obtain scan rates of several 100 to 1000 frames per second on anything from cardiac imaging to abdominal imaging to small-parts.

## Xilinx ZYNQ-Ultrascale+ (quad CA53)

Xilinx ZYNQ-Ultrascale+ System-on-Chip (SoC) technology including the newly introduced ZU1 and new small footprint package offering called ‘inFO’, enables ultra-miniaturization of complex architectures such as parallel beamforming. This SoC technology, combined with our customer’s proprietary shared beamforming architecture, allows for the integration of up to eight parallel beamformers in a handheld device. This architecture places this system on par with high-end laptop and cart-based units based on pure processing power
