Design 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 کاملRealtime photoacoustic microscopy in vivo with a 30-MHz ultrasound array transducer.
We present a novel high-frequency photoacoustic microscopy system capable of imaging the microvasculature of living subjects in realtime to depths of a few mm. The system consists of a high-repetition-rate Q-switched pump laser, a tunable dye laser, a 30-MHz linear ultrasound array transducer, a multichannel high-frequency data acquisition system, and a shared-RAM multi-core-processor computer....
متن کاملMouse cardiac MRI: comparison of prospective synchronization using optical and ECG signals with a retrospective technique
Introduction Prospective synchronization on living organisms of MRI acquisitions to reduce the motion artifacts involves the monitoring of both respiratory and heart motions in the thorax and abdominal region. The signal conventionally used to measure cardiac cycle is the electrocardiograph (ECG) signal. Respiratory motion can be derived from low frequency modulation of ECG signal [1]. Because ...
متن کاملMultislice CT angiography in cardiac imaging: prospective ECG-gating or retrospective ECG-gating?
With the advent of multislice CT more than a decade ago, multislice CT angiography has demonstrated a huge potential in the less invasive imaging of cardiovascular disease, especially in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. The diagnostic accuracy of multislice CT angiography has been significantly augmented with the rapid technical developments ranging from the initial 4-slice, to the cur...
متن کاملSynthetic ECG-gated cardiac computed tomography for in vivo imaging of the temporary total artificial heart.
To date, there have been >1000 implantations of temporary total artificial hearts (TAH-t). As expected, complications related to the use of the TAH-t can occur. A noninvasive imaging modality that would be capable of diagnosing mechanical failure, surgical complications, and thromboembolic phenomena related to the TAH-t is desirable. Echocardiography is not suitable to evaluate a TAH-t because ...
