Dual-Element Transducer with Phase-Inversion for Wide Depth of Field in High-Frequency Ultrasound Imaging
In high frequency ultrasound imaging (HFUI), the quality of focusing is deeply related to the length of the depth of field (DOF). In this paper, a phase-inversion technique implemented by a dual-element transducer is proposed to enlarge the DOF. The performance of the proposed method was numerically demonstrated by using the ultrasound simulation program called Field-II. A simulated dual-elemen...
متن کاملMiniature High-Frequency Epicardial Transducer
Background Intraoperative epicardial coronary Doppler ultrasound has the potential to provide anatomic and functional information. This technique has been hindered by the large size of standard transducers, but a miniature transducer is available that may fulfill the potential of coronary ultrasound. Methods and Results Twenty consecutive patients who were undergoing coronary artery bypass graf...
متن کاملNumerical Study and Optimisation of a Novel Single-Element Dual-Frequency Ultrasound Transducer
A dual-frequency ultrasound transducer (DFUT) is usually preferred for its numerous advantageous applications, especially in biomedical imaging and sensing. However, most of DFUTs are based on the combination of fundamental and harmonic operations, or integration of multiple different single-frequency ultrasound transducers, hindering perfect beam alignment and acoustic impedance matching. A no...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic imaging of the microvasculature with a high-frequency ultrasound array transducer.
Visualization of microvascular networks could provide new information about function and disease. We demonstrate the capabilities of a 30-MHz ultrasound array system for photoacoustic microscopy of small (< or = 300 microm) vessels in a rat. 3D images obtained by translating the array in the elevation direction are compared with photographs of excised skin. The system is shown to have 100-micro...
متن کاملElastic wave radiation from a high frequency finite-length transducer
A simple model of a high frequency piezoelectric transducer affixed to an elastic half-space is analysed. The problem is reformulated as a modified matrix Wiener–Hopf equation, containing a kernel for which there is no known exact factorisation. An approximate factorisation is obtained, and the resulting integral equation is solved by iteration, in limit that the length of the transducer is ver...
