Commonly, medical digital radiology ultrasound studies consist of about 25 images extracted from a full-motion ultrasound examination. Each image consists of 512 by 512 pixels, each with 8 bits of intensity information.
a. How many bits are there in the 25 images?
b. Ideally, however, doctors would like to use 512 × 512 × 8 bit frames at 30 fps (frames per second). Ignoring possible compression and overhead factors, what is the minimum channel capacity required to sustain this full-motion ultrasound?
c. Suppose each full-motion study consists of 25 seconds of frames. How many bytes of storage would be needed to store a single study in uncompressed form?
