Forward-viewing CMUT arrays for medical Imaging
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2004-07)
This paper reports the design and testing of forward-viewing annular arrays fabricated using capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) technology. Recent research studies have shown that CMUTs have broad frequency ...
An endoscopie imaging system based on a two-dimensional CMUT array: real-time imaging results
(IEEE, 2005)
Real-time catheter-based ultrasound imaging tools are needed for diagnosis and image-guided procedures. The continued development of these tools is partially limited by the difficulty of fabricating two-dimensional array ...
An integrated circuit with transmit beamforming and parallel receive channels for real-time three-dimensional ultrasound imaging
(IEEE, 2006)
We present the design of an integrated circuit (IC) that will be flip-chip bonded to a 16 x 16-element CMUT array. The IC provides 16 receive channels which can be configured to receive along either of the array diagonals ...
Volumetric imaging using fan-beam scanning with reduced redundancy 2D arrays
(IEEE, 2006)
Phased array processing with a fully populated 2D array produces the best image quality but requires excessive number of active parallel front-end channels. Here we explore four array designs with reduced redundancy in ...
Volumetric ultrasound imaging using 2-D CMUT arrays
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2003-11)
Recently, capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) have emerged as a candidate to overcome the difficulties in the realization of 2-D arrays for real-time 3-D imaging. In this paper, we present the first ...
An integrated circuit with transmit beamforming and parallel receive channels for 3D ultrasound imaging: testing and characterization
(IEEE, 2007)
The cost and complexity of medical ultrasound imaging systems can be reduced by integrating the transducer array with an integrated circuit (IC). By incorporating some of the system's front-end electronics into an IC, bulky ...
Phased subarray imaging for low-cost, wideband coherent array imaging
(IEEE, 2003)
The front-end hardware complexity of conventional full phased array (FPA) imaging is proportional to the number of array elements. Phased subarray (PSA) imaging has been proposed as a method of reducing the hardware ...
Minimally redundant 2-D array designs for 3-D medical ultrasound imaging
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2009-07)
In real-time ultrasonic 3-D imaging, in addition to difficulties in fabricating and interconnecting 2-D transducer arrays with hundreds of elements, there are also challenges in acquiring and processing data from a large ...
Beamforming and hardware design for a multichannel front-end integrated circuit for real-time 3D catheter-based ultrasonic imaging
(SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2006)
We are working on integrating front-end electronics with the ultrasound transducer array for real-time 3D ultrasound imaging systems. We achieve this integration by flip-chip bonding a two-dimensional transducer array to ...
Integration of 2D CMUT arrays with front-end electronics for volumetric ultrasound imaging
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008-02)
For three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging, connecting elements of a two-dimensional (2D) transducer array to the imaging system's front-end electronics is a challenge because of the large number of array elements and ...
