Abstract

mach achieves 1.1 trillion points per second throughput, enabling real-time 3D ultrafast ultrasound reconstruction for the first time on consumer-grade hardware. By eliminating the beamforming bottleneck, mach enables real-time applications such as 3D functional neuroimaging, intraoperative guidance, and ultrasound localization microscopy. mach is freely available at https://github.com/Forest-Neurotech/mach.
