PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasound signal acquisition system and method comprising a signal processing unit configured to acquire a received ultrasound signal from an ultrasound transducer having a plurality of elements.SOLUTION: The system for acquiring ultrasound signals comprises a signal processing unit configured to acquire a received ultrasound signal from an ultrasound transducer having a plurality of elements. The system is configured to receive the ultrasound signal having a frequency of at least 20 megahertz (MHz) using a transducer having a field of view of at least 5.0 millimeters (mm) at a frame rate of at least 20 frames per second (fps). The signal processing can further produce an ultrasound image from the acquired ultrasound signal. The transducer can be a linear array transducer, a phased array transducer, a two-dimensional (2-D) array transducer, or a curved array transducer. |
