Ultrahigh Frequency (100 MHz–300 MHz) Ultrasonic Transducers for Optical Resolution Medical Imagining
High resolution ultrasonic imaging requires high frequency wide band ultrasonic transducers, which produce short pulses and highly focused beam. However, currently the frequency of ultrasonic transducers is limited to below 100 MHz, mainly because of the challenge in precise control of fabrication parameters. This paper reports the design, fabrication, and characterization of sensitive broadban...
متن کاملModelling of a novel high-impedance matching layer for high frequency (>30 MHz) ultrasonic transducers.
This work describes a new approach to impedance matching for ultrasonic transducers. A single matching layer with high acoustic impedance of 16 MRayls is demonstrated to show a bandwidth of around 70%, compared with conventional single matching layer designs of around 50%. Although as a consequence of this improvement in bandwidth, there is a loss in sensitivity, this is found to be similar to ...
متن کاملTime-reversed ultrasonically encoded optical focusing using two ultrasonic transducers for improved ultrasonic axial resolution.
Focusing light inside highly scattering media is a challenging task in biomedical optical imaging, manipulation, and therapy. A recent invention has overcome this challenge by time reversing ultrasonically encoded diffuse light to an ultrasound-modulated volume inside a turbid medium. In this technique, a photorefractive (PR) crystal or polymer can be used as the phase conjugate mirror for opti...
متن کاملFabrication of High Frequency (25–75 MHz) Single Element Ultrasonic Transducers
The design and fabrication of high frequency single element ultrasonic transducers present a multitude of challenges for the transducer engineer, from size constraints to electrical impedance matching. This paper discusses the trade-offs involved in procedures used to fabricate lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and lead titanate (PbTiO3) transducers in the 25MHz to 75MHz range. Transducers of varying di...
متن کاملUltrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography.
In the past two decades, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been established as an adjunct diagnostic technique for noninvasive, high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging in a variety of medical fields. The rapid development of ultrabroad bandwidth light sources has recently enabled a significant improvement in OCT imaging resolution, demonstrating the potential of OCT to accomplish its orig...
