Abstract:A 2 1 multiplexed two-dimensional array has been developed which has a sparse element pattern designed for real time volumetric imaging and a second element pattern designed for conventional B-mode imaging. For volumetric imaging a small aperture was used to provide a wide transmit beam, allowing multiple beams to be received simultaneously. A larger aperture with a more narrow transmit beam was used for B-mode beams were not required. The multiplexed transducer was imaging to improve image quality when multip… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
