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 ...
CMUT-based volumetric ultrasonic imaging array design for forward looking ICE and IVUS applications
(SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2013)
Designing a mechanically flexible catheter based volumetric ultrasonic imaging device for intravascular and intracardiac imaging is challenging due to small transducer area and limited number of cables. With a few parallel ...
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 ...
Dual-annular-ring CMUT array for forward-looking IVUS imaging
(IEEE, 2006)
We investigate a dual-annular-ring CMUT array configuration for forward-looking intravascular ultrasound (FL-IVUS) imaging. The array consists of separate, concentric transmit and receive ring arrays built on the same ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
