This paper presents an arterial distension monitoring scheme using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based inference machine in an ultrasound scanner circuit system. An arterial distension monitoring requires a precise positioning of an ultrasound probe on an artery as a prerequisite. The propo...
