Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer Technology for Medical Ultrasound Imaging
Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (cMUT) technology has been recognized as an attractive alternative to the more traditional piezoelectric transducer technology in medical ultrasound imaging for several years now. There are mainly two reasons for the interest in this technology: Micromachining is derived from the integrated circuit technology and therefore shares the well-known adv...
متن کاملCapacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays for medical imaging
Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) bring the fabrication technology of standard integrated circuits into the field of ultrasound medical imaging. This unique property, combined with the inherent advantages of CMUTs in terms of increased bandwidth and suitability for new imaging modalities and high frequency applications, have indicated these devices as new generation arrays...
متن کاملMicromachined Capacitive Ultrasonic Immersion Transducer for Medical Imaging
Piezoceramics have been the dominant transducer technology in ultrasound medical imaging for several decades. Recent progress in surface micromachined capacitive ultrasonic immersion transducers makes them an alternative transducer technology, especially in highly integrated twodimensional arrays. This paper demonstrates that the surface micromachined capacitive ultrasonic immersion transducer ...
متن کاملMedical imaging using capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer arrays.
We are investigating the use of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUT's) for use in medical imaging. We propose an ultrasound probe architecture designed to provide volumetric ultrasound imaging from within an endoscope channel. A complete automated experimental system has been implemented for testing the imaging performance of cMUT arrays. This PC-based system includes custom-d...
متن کاملPower amplifier for ultrasonic transducer excitation
Design of the power amplifier for ultrasonic transducer excitation is presented. We assumed that the amplifier output impedance will be significantly lower than the transducer input impedance. Therefore we suggest to used the transformer as voltage step-up and impedance matching element. The transformer influence on the ultrasonic transducer bandwidth and the power transfer efficiency are analy...
