Embedded Medical Systems from Sarsen Technology Ltd


Medical systems often have very demanding technology and support requirements.

MRI scanners, CT scanners and ultrasound imaging systems typically require powerful data acquisition, digital signal processing and data recording solutions. Sarsen understand that medical customers have special requirements, so we supply high speed data acquisition and powerful embedded computing hardware, specifically for these kinds of applications.

Sarsen Technology represents a range of US manufacturers with a proven track record in supplying high reliability solutions to the medical industry.

Conduant’s  Big River™ RTX16 Digital Recording System is configured to provide clients with StreamStor ® high-speed recording and play-back technology, built into a heavy-duty industrial 19” rack-mount chassis that includes a PCI backplane for COTS component flexibility, a set of individually removable hard disk drives for data storage and an onboard Dual Core Xeon Server that can be used to handle command and control as well as data manipulation. The Big River™ RTX16 recording chassis configurations provide clients with 16 removable hard disk drives for multiple terabytes of data storage capacity and can be used to support a variety of data streaming applications such as medical imaging. 


BittWare’s hybrid signal processing boards provide an ideal solution for medical imaging systems designers. These boards provide the programming flexibility of an FPGA with the number-crunching power of a DSP, integrated by an innovative architecture – BittWare’s ATLANTiS Framework, allowing system designers to use both to their full advantage to get their products to market quickly and cost-effectively.

United Electronic Industries (UEI) has worked with NASA, supplying the UEIPAC Cube to perform an essential role in controlling the COLBERT treadmill in the new space station exercise facility. The astronauts need the treadmill both for exercise and for maintaining bone density in a gravity-free environment. Some of the functions monitored by the UEIPAC are characteristics of the astronaut’s gait and foot impact forces while exercising on the treadmill. This is determined by sensing data of various types from accelerometers and load cells in the treadmill and associated restraining equipment.
