Our primary focus

Medical Ultrasound

Diagnostic ultrasound is where A&W spends most of its time today. We design medical ultrasound imaging systems end to end — from transducers and the analog front end through FPGA beamforming, B-mode and Doppler imaging, AI-assisted analysis, and the clinical software — all built to medical-device standards.

Our ultrasound application in action

A real A&W clinical ultrasound interface — live B-mode imaging with AI-annotated structures, real-time probe force & motion guidance, a guided acquisition workflow, and on-screen tissue measurements.

A&W clinical ultrasound application: a longitudinal B-mode image with AI-segmented tissue boundaries and a highlighted structure, alongside accelerometer and probe-force readouts, a guided acquisition workflow, and a tissue elastic-modulus (EM) measurement table

Real-time B-mode

Live longitudinal and transverse imaging with adjustable depth.

AI annotation

Automatic segmentation of tissue boundaries and target structures.

Force & motion guidance

Probe force and accelerometer feedback for consistent, repeatable scans.

Guided workflow

Step-by-step acquisition with on-screen elastic-modulus (EM) measurements.

What we build

Ultrasound imaging, end to end

Full-system expertise across the ultrasound signal chain — the same depth we bring to every MedTech program, focused on diagnostic imaging.

Transducers & Probes

Transducer selection, characterization, and front-end matching across linear, curved, and phased-array probes.

Phased arrayCurved / linear

Front-End & Beamforming

Low-noise analog front ends and real-time transmit/receive beamforming on FPGA for high frame rates and image quality.

FPGATX/RX beamforming

Imaging Modes

B-mode, M-mode, and color, power & spectral (PW/CW) Doppler — with the DSP pipelines behind each mode.

B / M-modeDoppler

Image Processing & Optimization

Speckle reduction, harmonic imaging, compounding, and tuning for clarity, penetration, and diagnostic confidence.

Speckle reductionHarmonics

AI-assisted Imaging

Deep learning for view recognition, auto-measurement, organ segmentation, and image enhancement at the point of care.

SegmentationAuto-measurePyTorch

Point-of-Care & Portable

Compact, power-efficient, handheld and cart-based systems — with the clinical UI/UX and connectivity to match.

Built for the clinical bar

Medical ultrasound is a regulated medical device, and we engineer it that way from day one. Our medical-device DNA — ISO 13485, FDA, risk management, and rigorous documentation — is built into the process, not bolted on at the end.

  • Quality management system aligned to ISO 13485
  • Design controls, risk analysis & management (ISO 14971)
  • FDA pathways & design history file support
  • Electrical safety & EMC to IEC 60601
  • Verification & validation across the full system
