ULTRASOUND PROBES AND APPARATUSES FOR ULTRASOUND IMAGING INCLUDING SUCH
摘要:
An ultrasound probe (100) comprising: a connector (101) and a probe head (103) comprising: a mount (105) located in a tip part (104) of said probe head (103); a plurality of linear matrices (110, 120, 130, 140) of transducers (180) configured to emit acoustic waves with a given central wavelength and detect backscattered acoustic waves, said linear matrices being electrically connected to said connector (101), wherein each linear matrix from said plurality of linear matrices of transducers comprises a first side along a first direction (x) and a second side along a second direction (y), said second side being smaller than said first side; said linear matrices are fixed to said mount and juxtaposed on the mount (105) with the first sides adjacent; each linear matrix from said plurality of linear matrices of transducers is covered with a single cylindrical acoustic lens configured to focus said acoustic waves emitted by said linear matrix, each cylindrical acoustic lens comprising a cylindrical axis substantially parallel to said first direction (x).
