متن کاملDesign of a Novel High Frequency Ultrasound Annular Array
The design of a novel 50MHz 7-elment annular array is described. Equal-width electrodes are deposited on the rear face of piezoelectric layer to form a kerfless array, instead of mechanical cutting. Compared with equal-area designs, much better performance is achieved by the novel design. The cross talk is down to -20dB, the -6dB bandwidth and insertion loss are 41% and 18dB, respectively. The ...
متن کاملDesign of a High Frequency Equal Width Annular Array Transducer for Medical Imaging
This work investigates a strongly-focused annular array for high frequency ultrasonic applications, offering improved resolution without increasing the operating frequency, potentially reducing the complexity of manufacture. However, the conventional geometry, specifically the Equal Area array exhibits a problem with high sidelobes. A method based on geometric change is developed to control the...
متن کاملPulse-encoded ultrasound imaging of the vitreous with an annular array.
The vitreous body is nearly transparent both optically and ultrasonically. Conventional 10- to 12-MHz diagnostic ultrasound can detect vitreous inhomogeneities at high gain settings, but has limited resolution and sensitivity, especially outside the fixed focal zone near the retina. To improve visualization of faint intravitreal fluid/gel interfaces, the authors fabricated a spherically curved ...
متن کاملDesign of Small Animal Computed Tomography Imaging for in vitro and in vivo Studies
Introduction: Mini Computed Tomography (mini-CT) was suggested in biomedical research to investigate tissues and small animals. We present designed and built a mini x-ray computed tomography (mini-CT) for small animals as well as industrial component imaging. Materials and Methods: The system used in this study includes a X-ray tube 20kV to 160kV and a flat pa...
