The digiTDS enables diagnosis of intracranial vessels which are rather difficult to penetrate for standard systems. The device can display a color map of flow velocities (in time-depth domain) and a spectrogram of a Doppler signal obtained at particular depth. The system offers a multigate processing which allows to display a number of spectrograms simultaneously and to reconstruct a flow velocity profile. The digital signal processing in digiTDS is partitioned between hardware and software parts. The hardware part (based on FPGA) executes a signal demodulation and reduces data stream. The software part (PC) performs the Doppler processing and display tasks. The hardware-software partitioning allowed to build a flexible Doppler platform at a relatively low cost. The digiTDS design fulfills all necessary medical standards being a new useful tool in the transcranial field as well as in heart velocimetry research.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Research and Medical Transcranial Doppler System}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/103553/PDF/aoa-2016-0074.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aoa-2016-0074}, keywords={Doppler system, digital signal processing, hardware-software partitioning, field programmable gate arrays}, }
