Many fields of medicine such as dermatology, ophthalmology and rheumatology can benefit from ultra-high resolution (<;100 μm) ultrasound imaging. In the past.

Capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) are micro-electromechanical systems that convert electrical energy into sound waves. This new method of generating ultrasound …

CMUT transducers are MEMS based structures that can be used to transmit and receive acoustic signals in the ultrasonic range. They enable breakthrough applications for ultrasound technology in a diverse range of industries such as medical, microscopy, inkjet printin and …

Kolo’s Silicon Wave transducer technology offers a practical alternative to PZT transducers for extremely broad bandwidth and high frequency imaging applications. These transducers provide unparalleled imaging performance for pre-clinical imaging, including mice and rats, and for other superficial imaging applications.

2012年6月15日 · This paper presents the design, development, fabrication, and characterization of a 12-MHz ultrasound probe for medical imaging, based on a CMUT array. The CMUT array is microfabricated and packed using a novel fabrication concept specifically conceived for imaging transducer arrays.

Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUTs) offer a wide freedom of design for ultrasonic phased arrays. They are characterized, in comparison to piezoelectric transducers, by a higher sensitivity in receiving and a wider bandwidth based on their physical properties.

2020年8月24日 · The CMUT has successfully achieved the measurement of sound speed, flow rate, viscosity, and acoustic impedance in the fluid environment, which provides a prototype as a portable IVUS assistant...

A 15 MHz 256-element linear array ultrasound probe is developed with CMUT technology by Kolo Medical Inc. The probe is designed using Kolo's proprietary IP and fabricated with the state-of-the-art semiconductor technology. The performance of the high frequency linear array is further enhanced with advanced packaging and assembly technology.

2011年12月1日 · Capacitive micro-machined ultrasound transducers (cMUT) is an emerging MEMS technology that can be profitably exploited in biometric applications, like fingerprint or palm print. In this work a FEM model of a cMUT is proposed and used to design a 192-element array with a frequency band centered at 12.5 MHz.

In this study, we report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of an ultrasound-guided focused ultrasound (USgFUS) cMUT probe dedicated to preclinical evaluation of targeted therapy (hyperthermia, thermosensitive liposomes activation, and sonoporation) at low frequency (1 MHz) with simultaneous ultrasonic imaging and guidance (15 to ...
