Forward-looking IVUS imaging using an annular-ring CMUT array
(IEEE, 2005)
A 64-element, 1.15mm diameter annular-ring CMUT array was characterized and used for forward-looking IVUS imaging tests. The array was manufactured using low temperature processes suitable for CMOS electronics integration ...
A miniature real-time volumetric ultrasound imaging system
(SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2005)
Progress made in the development of a miniature real-time volumetric ultrasound imaging system is presented. This system is targeted for use in a 5-mm endoscopic channel and will provide real-time, 30-mm deep, volumetric ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A lumped circuit model for the radiation impedance of a 2D CMUT array element
(IEEE, 2005)
Elements of a 2D array used for 3D acoustic imaging have dimensions smaller than half of the acoustic wavelength due to the Nyquist criteria for spatial sampling. Therefore, analyses involving circuit models for the array ...
Dual electrode capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer array for 1-D intracardiac echocardiography (ICE)
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2007)
We designed and fabricated a 64 element 1-D linear dual electrode Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) array operating at 9.5 MHz for Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE). The dual electrode CMUT structure ...
Micromachined capacitive transducer arrays for intravascular ultrasound
(SPIE, 2005)
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging has become an essential imaging modality for the effective diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases during the past decade enabled by innovative applications of piezoelectric ...
Damar içi öne bakan ultrasonik görüntüleme için eşdeğer dizi örnekleme yöntemleri
(IEEE, 2009-06-26)
Damar içi öne bakan ultrasonik görüntüleme gerçek zamanlı hacimsel (üç boyutlu) görüntülemeye imkan vermesi bakımından yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Damar içi görüntülemede fiziksel boyutların küçük olması nedeniyle ...
