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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
