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 ...
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 ...
Experimental study of dual-ring CMUT array optimization for forward-looking IVUS
(IEEE, 2011)
Forward-looking (FL) catheters have guiding and volumetric imaging capacities which are highly desirable for IVUS applications. Large channel and firing counts have to be reduced to enable 3-D real-time imaging and simplify ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
