متن کاملNon-contact biomedical photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging.
The detection of ultrasound in photoacoustic tomography (PAT) usually relies on ultrasonic transducers in contact with the biological tissue through a coupling medium. This is a major drawback for important potential applications such as surgery. Here we report the use of a remote optical method, derived from industrial laser-ultrasonics, to detect ultrasound in tissues. This approach enables n...
متن کاملDual-Frequency Piezoelectric Transducers for Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging
For many years, ultrasound has provided clinicians with an affordable and effective imaging tool for applications ranging from cardiology to obstetrics. Development of microbubble contrast agents over the past several decades has enabled ultrasound to distinguish between blood flow and surrounding tissue. Current clinical practices using microbubble contrast agents rely heavily on user training...
متن کاملCapacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers for medical imaging and therapy.
Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) have been subject to extensive research for the last two decades. Although they were initially developed for air-coupled applications, today their main application space is medical imaging and therapy. This paper first presents a brief description of CMUTs, their basic structure, and operating principles. Our progression of developing seve...
متن کاملNon-Contact Optical Ultrasound Concept for Biomedical Imaging
In this paper, we examine the potential of a fully noncontact-standoff laser-ultrasound concept to generate and measure elastic waves in order to construct internal structure and matrix images within biological tissue. We use a pulsed optical laser (Q-switched) as an excitation source that converts optical energy to ultrasonic waves within a tissue complex via photoacoustic (PA) mechanisms. Las...
