This study investigates the feasibility of capturing visually evoked hemodynamic responses in the mouse brain using photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and ultrasound (US) dual-modality imaging. A commercial piezoelectric transducer array and a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array were compared using a programmable PAT-US imaging system. The system resolution was measured by imaging phantoms. We also tested the ability of the system to capture visually evoked hemodynamic responses in the superior colliculus as well as the primary visual cortex in wild-type mice. Results show that the piezoelectric transducer array and the CMUT array exhibit comparable imaging performance, and both arrays can capture visually evoked hemodynamic responses in subcortical as well as cortical regions of the mouse brain.

“…Traditionally in acoustic angiography separate transducers were used for the transmitter and the receiver, however the latest approach aims at employing a single transducer for both functions. Tuning of the bias voltage and exploiting the CMUT collapse mode operation [78]- [80], as explained previously, are viable solutions for multi-frequency operation. Another CMUT implementation employs a reduced bottom electrode and added central mass on a thin plate [77] in order to achieve broadband response: the reduced bottom electrode increases the bandwidth by focusing the electrostatic force in the central area of the membrane, where it is most effective, and by decreasing the in-cell parasitic capacitance, while the added mass on the CMUT plate allows decoupling the spring constant and the plate mass, thus breaking the trade-off between a higher pressure narrower bandwidth device and lower pressure wider bandwidth device, and tuning the higher order vibrational mode frequencies.…”

Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (PMUT) and Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUT) have seen great developments in recent years, both in terms of performance and scope of applications within the biomedical ultrasound domain. This paper presents a review of the state-of-the-art of PMUT and CMUT technologies, focusing on their principle of operation, microfabrication techniques and use in different biomedical imaging and therapeutic applications. The advantages and drawbacks of PMUT and CMUT technologies in comparison with conventional bulk transducers are highlighted, the trade-offs among PMUTs and CMUTs are discussed, and their relevance in the current landscape of medical diagnostics and therapeutic uses is outlined, thus providing a clear overview of these promising technologies for the present and the next generation biomedical ultrasound applications.
