Bandwidth Requirements For Medical Imaging Systems
Medical imaging systems requires greater bandwidth. With the emphasis on performance in real time and high resolution, the amount of data processing needed may soon reach staggering levels. Using sensors to receive input large amounts of information, together with digital signal processors (DSP) to turn that analog input into digital data, medical systems lean motherboard based on the chassis high performance. Traditionally, many systems use standards-based architectures like VMEbus or CompactPCI bus. But with the strike backplane performance limitations standard architectures, designers of medical systems industry is looking for new switching technologies that offer high performance fabric and high reliability at a reasonable cost.
Medical imaging systems such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and CT emission tomography (PET) scanning, are most in need of higher performance. Intrachassis traffic between processor boards, communications boards, the screen, the sensor device, and storage is enormous. Real-Time information and clearer resolution images, higher, the data I need to travel at high speeds without errors. Not only is speed important data, but treatment must be reliable. With the inherent redundancy and reliability, the system can be highly available, with up to 99.999%.
In many medical applications, latency and performance are important requirements. In an ultrasound system, latency is critical because the technician uses the image in real time to properly position the transducer. Latency is less critical for CT equipment, but still be an important factor. Both systems require the performance to scale as processing elements are added to a system. If all the disputed treatment together a common bus, may actually degrade performance as the number of processing nodes increases.
Bus-based architectures are running out of bandwidth for the solutions medical imaging today. Migration to the switching systems of the fabric is the natural path of evolution. It is important that the switch architecture cloth and has all the necessary hardware and software components. A switching system fabric should also be compatible with PCI-based systems, so that much of the investment previous one manufacturer in the system can be preserved. Whatever …. sufficient bandwidth to operate the whole installation system (all applications) is critical. At a minimum load of the system will require a DS3 bandwidth or bandwidth …. OC3 largest medical facilities including an OC12 or OC48. To help to determine the exact requirements is highly advisable to hire the services of an independent technical consultant, as the solutions of bandwidth. The support provided by Solutions bandwidth is free … and save you time, effort, money and hassle.
