Focussing ultrasound transducer
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991A focussing transducer for the destruction of objects internal to a patient's body by pulses of ultrasonic waves. The transducer comprises a concave transducer surface which is divided into areas and there is a control means which can selectively activate the areas of the transducer so that the waveform arriving at the focus can adjusted.

Miniature ultrasound transducer
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004An ultrasonic transducer (108) for use in medical imaging comprises a substrate (300) having first and second surfaces. The substrate (300) includes an aperture (301) extending from the first surface to the second surface. Electronic circuitry (302) is located on the first surface. A diaphragm (304) is positioned at least partially within the aperture (

Flexible Ultrasound Transducer Array
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011A transducer array includes two or more sub-arrays that move relative to each other. Position sensors on each of the sub-arrays provide spatial coordination for beamforming and/or image forming to yield extended field of view and high image resolution. The adaptable transducer array, such as mounted on a flexible transducer housing, allows the array to

All-optical ultrasound transducer
SPIE Proceedings, 2007Recent advances in fabrication techniques have accelerated development of optical generation and detection of ultrasound, a promising technology to construct high-frequency arrays for high resolution ultrasound imaging. A two-dimensional (2-D) gold nanostructure has been fabricated to optically generate high frequency ultrasound.

Expandable ultrasound transducer array
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009A foldable transducer array is unfolded or deployed for use, providing a larger radiating surface. While folded, the transducer array has a smaller width or volume for insertion into and withdrawal from the patient.

Abstract The history of transducer development for medical imaging and therapeutic applications is closely coupled with the invention of transduction mechanisms and the development of transducer materials. Six transduction mechanisms can be identified as originating in the 19th century: Electromagnetic: In the presence of a static or ...

New piezoelectric transducers for therapeutic ultrasound
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2000Therapeutic ultrasound (US) has been of increasing interest during the past few years. However, the development of this technique depends on the availability of high-performance transducers. These transducers have to be optimised for focusing and steering high-power ultrasonic energy within the target volume.
