  • Abstract
    The ultrasound is the most practical and the most considerate method of the examining in this time. It is using in the examining of tender tissues in the organism. The output of these examines can be various types of visual representations. The individual parts of tissues and blood vessels are represented by the B-mode ultrasound representation. D-mode ultrasound representation is using for the representation of the bloody values. This mode is operating on the dependence of the Dopplers effect principal. There is the possibility of using FPGA technology to make the results of acquired signal from the ultrasound. This technology is allowing to realise constituted proposal with the VHDL programme language. This work continues the information about the Doppler sound processing in the ultrasonography, basic information about using the FPGA technology, the proposal and results of realization of the sound processing with developmental Xtreme DSP kit with FPGA Virtex II-Pro.
