This paper presents a hardware design of an ultrasound imaging system for transmitting pulses and acquiring echo signals to/from individual elements of an array transducer. Since most of the ultrasound imaging systems in the market provide only image files after reconstruction, the presented hardware can be controlled by a computer in order to transmit pulses in specific patterns to transducer elements and in order to access the data from individual transducer elements. It benefits the research and development of new algorithms for beamforming, image reconstruction, and other applications, such as elastography and ultrasonic transmission tomography.
