The TI Project entails working with a Texas Instruments Digital Signal Processing (DSP) chip and using it in a medical device. The power of these chips is that they are able to accept input, execute code which modifies the input, and put out some type of output in "real-time". We wish to use a DSP chip in the multimedia-editing applications involved in the processing of ultra-sound pictures.
We have chosen to use the chip in the field of medical imaging. Working in collaboration with Dr. Kobayashi and Dr. Vanderby, we will use the DSP chip to analyze ultrasound images and creates plots of the stiffness vs. strain of various tissues. This technology should be able to allow ultrasound to be used in the diagnosis of low-level injuries by comparing injured tissues’ stiffness vs. strain values to that of healthy tissue.
