Channel-Domain Ultrasound Array System for Multidisciplinary Research
EF 2011-12
Résumé
A research ultrasound platform is requested to support a large number of multidisciplinary projects in our laboratory. The proposed ultrasound platform is unique because it will permit parallel acquisition of channel data in realtime, and special pulse-sequence programmability to permit rapid development of novel imaging and imaging-therapy modes which would be impossible on most commercial ultrasound systems. Proposed projects involve interfacing of capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers for 3D imaging and imaging with dual-frequencies, preclinical and clinical photoacoustic molecular imaging, ultrasound-aided drug-and gene delivery and blood biomarker release, and improved breast-cancer-detection ultrasound imaging strategies.
