A team develops an ultrasensitive broadband transparent ultrasound transducer. The 'ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system' combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and ...

A quadruple fusion optical and ultrasound imaging system has been developed that allows diagnosis of eye conditions or tumors or to see the environment inside the body using a transparent ultrasound ...

Ultrasonic transducers are incredible, with them you can detect distances, as well as levitate and peer through objects. They can emit and receive ultrasonic soundwaves (typically above 18khz) and ...

Ultrasound scans, best known for monitoring pregnancies or imaging organs, can also be used to stimulate cells and direct cell function. A team of Penn State researchers has developed an easier, more ...

3 MHz Matrix Array Transducer – the M3dV 3 MHz Matrix Array features a new monolithic design that enhances image reconstruction and improves image quality; it utilizes 1024 elements in a 32 x 32 grid ...

The novel distortion matrix approach enables detection of micro-calcifications in breast cancer. These precursors of breast cancer are impossible to detect in the conventional ultrasound image.

Scientists develop a high-performance photoacoustic endoscopy featuring a transparent ultrasound transducer. Recently, a research team consisting of Professor Chulhong Kim from the Department of ...

In the medical applications of ultrasonic imaging, sound waves of high frequency are usually employed to produce in-depth cross-sectional images of internal organs. Special multi-element transducers ...

There have been important technological advancements made in the nondestructive testing (NDT) industry with total focusing method (TFM) capable inspection devices becoming more common. In terms of ...
