Large Matrix Array Aperture for 3D Vascular Imaging Capture

Three-dimensional ultrasound has initially been used to address volumetric imaging for diagnostic purposes and represents the leading-edge technological orientation in both transducer and IC (integrated circuit) architecture and design. However, new applications are coming up like biomarker measurements, preoperative navigation, real time...

3D high frame rate flow measurement using a prototype matrix transducer for carotid imaging

To accurately investigate the state of the carotid artery by the local haemodynamics and motion of the plaque using ultrasound, high-frame rate volumetric imaging is necessary. We have specifically designed a matrix array for this purpose. In this proceeding we will focus on imaging a volumetric flow profile using this matrix. For this...
