Abstract
Ultrasound Computed Tomography (UCT) systems are typically custom-built, and the high cost and long lead time can be a significant barrier to research groups becoming active in the field. This work details progress towards FlexUCT: a design framework for a low-cost benchtop UCT system that will allow novel data acquisition protocols and reconstruction algorithms to be tested on a physical system, thereby facilitating progress towards fast and accurate UCT. The design, assembly and testing of 4-element prototypes are described. Field scans of the prototypes have been performed to characterise the beamwidth, element radiation pattern and acoustic cross talk, and the pulse echo behaviour was evaluated.
