This paper describes an annular CMUT ring array designed and fabricated for the tip of a catheter used for forward-looking intravascular imaging. A 64-element, 2-mm average diameter array is fabricated as an experimental prototype. A single element in the array is connected to a single-channel custom front-end integrated circuit for pulse-echo operation. In conventional operation the transducer operated at around 10 MHz. In the collapsed regime, the operating frequency shifted to 25 MHz and the received echo amplitude tripled. The SNR is measured as 23 dB in a 50-MHz measurement band width for an echo signal from a plane reflector at 1.5 mm. We also performed a nonlinear dynamic transient finite element analysis for the described transducer, and found these results are in good agreement with the experimental measurements, both for conventional and collapsed operation.

ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY USING INDUCED CURRENTS Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (1994-06-01) The mathematical basis of a new imaging modality, Induced Current Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), is investigated. The ultimate aim of this technique is the reconstruction of conductivity distribution of the human body, from voltage measurements made between electrodes placed on the surface, when currents are induced inside the body by applied time varying magnetic fields. In this study the two-dimensional problem is analyzed. A specific 9-coil system for generating nine different exciting magnetic f...
Vibration analysis of cracked beams on elastic foundation using Timoshenko beam theory Batıhan, Ali Çağrı; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, transverse vibration of a cracked beam on an elastic foundation and the effect of crack and foundation parameters on transverse vibration natural frequencies are studied. Analytical formulations are derived for a beam with rectangular cross section. The crack is an open type edge crack placed in the medium of the beam and it is uniform along the width of the beam. The cracked beam rests on an elastic foundation. The beam is modeled by two different beam theories, which are Euler-Bernoulli be...
Electrical conductivity imaging via contactless measurements Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1999-07-01) A new imaging modality is introduced to image electrical conductivity of biological tissues via contactless measurements. This modality uses magnetic excitation to induce currents inside the body and measures the magnetic fields of the induced currents. In this study, the mathematical basis of the methodology is analyzed and numerical models are developed to simulate the imaging system. The induced currents are expressed using the (A) over right arrow-phi formulation of the electric field where (A) over rig...
Quality Enhancement of Computed Tomography Images of Porous Media Using Convolutional Neural Networks Yıldırım, Ertuğrul Umut; Uğur, Ömür; Glatz, Guenther; Department of Scientific Computing (2022-2-11) Computed tomography has been widely used in clinical and industrial applications as a non-destructive visualization technology. The quality of computed tomography scans has a strong effect on the accuracy of the estimated physical properties of the investigated sample. X-ray exposure time is a crucial factor for scan quality. Ideally, long exposure time scans, yielding large signal-to-noise ratios, are available if physical properties are to be delineated. However, especially in micro-computed tomography ap...
