Annular CMUT arrays for side looking intravascular ultrasound imaging
(IEEE, 2007)
Although side looking intravascular ultrasound (SL-IVUS) imaging systems using single element piezoelectric transducers set the resolution standard in the assessment of the extent of coronary artery disease, improvements ...
Forward-looking IVUS imaging using a dual-annular ring CMUT array: Experimental results
(IEEE, 2007)
This paper presents the experimental results on forward-looking Intravascular ultrasound (FL-IVUS) using dual-annular-ring CMUT arrays. The array has a diameter of 1mm including bondpads which consists of separate, concentric ...
An Analog beamformer for integrated high-frequency medical ultrasound imaging
(IEEE, 2011)
We designed and fabricated a dynamic receive beamforming integrated circuit (IC) in 0.35-mu m CMOS technology. This beamformer is suitable for integration with an ultrasound annular array for high-frequency (30-50 MHz) ...
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 ...
Coherent array imaging using phased subarrays. Part II: Simulations and experimental results
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2005-01)
The basic principles and theory of phased subarray (PSA) imaging imaging provides the flexibility of reducing I he number of front-end hardware channels between that of classical synthetic aperture (CSA) imaging-which uses ...
Annular-ring CMUT arrays for forward-looking IVUS: Transducer characterization and imaging
(IEEE, 2006-02)
In this study, a 64-element, 1.15-mm diameter annular-ring capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array was characterized and used for forward-looking intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging tests. The array ...
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 ...
A tunable analog delay element for high-frequency dynamic beamforming
(IEEE, 2009)
Implementing beamforming for high frequency arrays is challenging because of the accurate delay requirements at high frequencies. High frequency digital beamforming is not suitable for catheter based applications as a large ...
Co-array optimization of CMUT arrays for forward-looking IVUS
(IEEE, 2009-09)
The ring annular array structure is a preferred configuration for implementing Forward-Looking IVUS (FLIVUS) catheters as it allows for volumetric imaging as well as use of a guidewire at the center. CMUT technology is ...
Front-end CMOS electronics for monolithic integration with CMUT arrays: Circuit design and initial experimental results
(2008)
This paper discusses design of CMOS-ASICs for monolithic integration of CMUT arrays by post-CMOS fabrication. We describe design strategies for monolithic integration and demonstrate the advantages of CMUT-on-CMOS approach. ...
