ArtUs CEXT-1H

ArtUs Compact bridges the gap between the larger ArtUs EXT-1H and the MicrUs / MicrUs Pro series. It keeps the compact size of MicrUs and adds advanced options: real-time RF data transfer, strain elastography and I/O synchronisation.

A carefully selected range of linear, convex and phased-array transducers balances performance and affordability.

ArtUs CEXT-1H

Fanless beamformer in an aluminium enclosure, powered via USB-C or an external power supply.

  • I/O module

    Up to 6 trigger signals to and from external equipment through additional connectors.

  • RF module

    Access to beamformed RF data via the Telemed SDK and MATLAB utilities.

  • Strain elastography

    Shows the relative stiffness of one tissue compared with another.

Research features

Optional modules for scientific and engineering work in biomedical ultrasound.

Access to beamformed RF data

Most commercial ultrasound machines are closed to researchers and give no access to raw RF signals. These signals carry valuable information about how the acoustic wave interacts with tissue and can be used to develop new diagnostic methods.

Telemed research tools let you acquire and analyze beamformed RF data from ArtUs CEXT-1H. RF data details

Input / output synchronisation

For experiments that need the scanner synchronised with other equipment. Signals:

Line out
On the falling edge, acquisition of one ultrasound line starts.
Frame out
On the falling edge, acquisition of one frame starts.
Line in
Line acquisition starts ~20 µs after the rising edge.
Frame in
Frame acquisition starts ~20 µs after the rising edge.
ScanStart out
Logic “0” in freeze mode, “1” while scanning.
ScanStart in
Toggles between freeze and scanning on each rising edge.

Strain elastography

A real-time imaging mode for assessing tissue strain, which correlates with tissue stiffness. Useful in research on breast masses, thyroid pathology and other applications.

Measurements include strain ratio, histogram analysis, E/B ratio and a quality indicator that helps obtain reliable images. Intended for research use.
