Module 2 System Hardware and Theory
The goal of the System Hardware and Theory Module is to provide
you with a solid grounding on the purpose of the GE Voluson E10
system’s different components and how they function together
within the system.
The three major functional blocks in all ultrasound systems are:
Front End –Includes transducer analog signal processing
functions.
Back End –Includes user interface and system communication
with DICOM systems.
Power Systems –Generates, regulates and supplies the required
voltages to the various parts of the system.
Signal Flow
System configurations (GE dataflows) are stored on a hard drive
inside the BEP, and all the necessary software is loaded from the hard
drive on power up of the system.
The transmit bursts are routed from the RF interface to the relays
where the ultrasound probes are connected. The signals are
transmitted by the probes as ultrasound into the body. The input
signals travel from the probe connector panel to the Front End
Processor (FEP), then to the Back End Processor (BEP) for digital signal
processing(DSP) and finally, the results are displayed on the monitor.

System Front End Components
This section covers system frontend topics for the GE Voluson E10.
Front End is a general term for the parts of the ultrasound system
that receive the reflections from acoustic energy that have been
transmitted into the body and perform the various signal processing
functions on them needed to produce an ultrasound image. The
following are some of the components and functions that are found
in a typical ultrasound system front end:
Transducers –Transmit focused acoustic energy and receive the
resultant reflections.
High voltage switches –Used for multiplexing (connects a
particular transducer element to a particular transmitter/receiver
pair)
High voltage transmitters –Transmit analog data from the
transducers.
Time Gain Control Amp (TGC) –A variable gain amplifier (VGA) is
used to compensate for image variations due to tissue depth.
Analog to Digital converter and noise filtering.
Digital Beamformers –Upconverts signals which increases
sample rates. The signals are stored in memory, apodized and
summed.
Beamformed Digital Signal Processing –The digital beamformed
signals received are processed into visual and audio outputs the
process of which depends on if the transducer is B-mode (2D),
Doppler, PWD or CWD.
The front end manages the input from the transducers, performs
Analog to Digital conversion, Digital to Analog conversion along with
many other signal processing functions.
Voluson E10 Front End Processor (FEP)
In the Voluson E10 systems the front end beamforming electronics
are comprised of the following boards:
