Aims:
1. To develop an open architecture ultrasound device that would provide ultrasound imaging and therapies simultaneously with a single integrated system.
2. To provide a higher degree of control over the scanning parameters and greater access to the raw ultrasound data, thereby facilitating advanced algorithm development.
3. To identify a path to qualifying medical ultrasound systems for deep space exploration missions by functioning more readily with radiation-tolerant processes.
