In this paper, we present a reconfigurable system-on-chip architecture targeted mainly to medical imaging applications. By combining general purpose processors and FPGA-based hardware, and integrating the whole system into a single FPGA chip, we were able to build a compact system without sacrificing processing power and flexibility. A prototype board based on the proposed architecture was built and evaluated in a digital X-ray imaging system. Preliminary results were presented and showed that the architecture could satisfy real-time digital X-ray imaging requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
