Signals Conditioning Tool for Hi-res Bioultrasonic Signals

The present paper describes a signal conditioning tool that integrates all the necessary preprocessing tools to be applied to high resolution bioultrasonic signals integrated in the same platform. Health condition of tissues can be known through bioultrasonic signals analysis, hence the importance of conditioning them. This software tool was developed following the software design methodology using object-oriented programming. It was developed in MATLAB which is a suitable and functional platform to process signals, due to spread range of processing tools and the graphical user interfaces. The actors and use cases employed for the software tool are defined and explained. As a result, the graphical user interfaces employed in the tool were: signal selection, window function, offset elimination, normalization and denoising. All of them are described and illustrated.
