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-etement, 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 bandwidth 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. © 2004 IEEE.

Quantitative measurements obtained by micro-computed tomography and confocal laser scanning microscopy KAMBUROĞLU, KIVANÇ; Barenboim, S. F.; Arituerk, T.; Kaffe, I. (British Institute of Radiology, 2008-10-01) Objectives: To compare measurements obtained by micro-CT with those obtained by confocal laser scanning microscope in simulative internal resorption cavities.
Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) using quartz crystal AFM feedback Dede, M.; Ürkmen, K.; Oral, Ahmet (2005-01-01) In the scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) technique, scanning tunneling microscope (STM) or atomic force microscope (AFM) feedback is usually used for bringing the Hall sensor into close proximity of a sample. Here, we used quartz crystal AFM feedback in microfabrication of Hall sensors and in the operation of SHPM. This method eliminates the necessity of conducting samples in SHPM.
High-frequency CMUT arrays for high-resolution medical imaging Oralkan, O; Hansen, ST; Bayram, Barış; Yaralioglu, GG; Ergun, AS; Khuri-Yakob, BT (2004-01-01) This paper describes high-frequency I-D CMUT arrays designed and fabricated for use in electronically scanned high-resolution ultrasonic imaging systems. Two different designs of 64-element linear CMUT arrays are presented in this paper. A single element in each array is connected to a single-channel custom front-end integrated circuit for pulse-echo operation. The first design has a resonant frequency of 43 MHz in air, and operates at 30 MHz in immersion. The second design exhibits a resonant frequency of ...
2D Simulations Based on General Time-Dependent Reciprocal Relation for LFEIT KARADAŞ, Mursel; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2015-08-29) Lorentz field electrical impedance tomography (LFEIT) is a newly proposed technique for imaging the conductivity of the tissues by measuring the electromagnetic induction under the ultrasound pressure field. In this paper, the theory and numerical simulations of the LFEIT are reported based on the general time dependent formulation. In LFEIT, a phased array ultrasound probe is used to introduce a current distribution inside a conductive body. The velocity current occurs, due to the movement of the conductiv...
