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. ...
Evaluation of CMUT annular arrays for side-looking IVUS
(IEEE, 2009)
Side-looking (SL) IVUS probes are extensively used for management of cardiovascular diseases. Currently SL-IVUS imaging probes use either a single rotating transducer element or solid-state arrays. Probes with single ...
Multiple annular ring capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer arrays for forward-looking intravascular ultrasound imaging catheters
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2007)
We investigate multiple-annular-ring CMUT array configuration for forward-looking intravascular ultrasound (FL-IVUS) imaging. This configuration has the potential for independent optimization of each ring and uses the ...
An annular CMUT array beamforming system for high-frequency side looking IVUS imaging
(2010)
A CMUT annular array system for Side-Looking Intravascular Ultrasound (SL-IVUS) with fixed transmit and dynamic receive focusing capabilities has been developed. The system was experimentally characterized and validated ...
Simulated annealing based optimization of dual-ring arrays for forward-looking IVUS and ICE imaging
(2010)
Forward-Looking (FL) catheter based imaging systems are highly desirable for guiding interventions in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) applications. One of the main challenges in the ...
Solid-state SL-IVUS arrays based on non-uniform aperture sampling
(IEEE, 2010)
We propose new reconfigurable ring and cylindrical array designs using non-uniform (Fresnel) aperture sampling with identical differential delays between adjacent elements which reduces the beamformer complexity. For ...
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 ...
