title: A Reconfigurable System-on-chip Architecture for Medical Imaging: Preliminary Results.
abstract: In this paper, we present a reconfigurable system-on-chip architecture targeted mainly to medical imaging applications. By combining general purpose processors and FPGA-based hardware, and integrating the whole system into a single FPGA chip, we were able to build a compact system without sacrificing processing power and flexibility. A prototype board based on the proposed architecture was built and evaluated in a digital X-ray imaging system. Preliminary results were presented and showed that the architecture could satisfy real-time digital X-ray imaging requirements.
