Ultrasound CT Water coupled

The article presents a performance analysis of fully automated, in-house developed 2D ultrasound computerized tomography systems using different programming languages. The system is fully automated in four programming languages:  LabVIEW, MATLAB, C and Python. It includes codes for sensors, instruments interfacing, real-time control, synchronized data acquisition, simultaneous raw data processing and analysis. A microcontroller integrated, multi-actuator based electro-mechanical assembly designed to provide complete scanning in three dimensions. It employs a parallel beam geometry to scan the specimen and perform the reconstruction based on the transmission data. The automatically controlled mechanical assembly of the scanner is integrated with its synchronized data acquisition, complex signal processing and inverse problem based image reconstruction software.
