摘要： The present invention provides an apparatus for functional imaging of an object that is compact, sensitive, and provides real-time three-dimensional images. The apparatus includes a source of non-ultrasonic energy, where the source induces generation of ultrasonic waves within the object. The source can provide any type of non-ultrasonic energy, including but not limited to light, heat, microwaves, and other electromagnetic fields. Preferably, the source is a laser. The apparatus also includes a single capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) device or an array of CMUTs. In the case of a single CMUT element, it can be mechanically scanned to simulate an array of any geometry. Among the advantages of CMUTs are tremendous fabrication flexibility and a typically wider bandwidth. Transducer arrays with high operating frequencies and with nearly arbitrary geometries can be fabricated. A method of functional imaging using the apparatus is also provided.

摘要： A novel operation regime for capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUTs). The collapse-snapback operation in which the center of the membrane makes intermittent contact with the substrate. This combines two distinct states of the membrane (in-collapse and out-of-collapse) to unleash unprecedented acoustic output pressures into the medium. The collapse-snapback operation utilizes a larger range of membrane defection profiles (both collapsed and released membrane profiles) and generates higher acoustic output pressures than the conventional operation. Collapse-snapback operation meets the extreme acoustic transmit pressure demands of the ultrasonic industry.

摘要： Focused ultrasound is a promising technology for neural stimulation that is non-invasive, and capable of passing through the skull. Here we use the isolated retina to characterize the effect of ultrasound on an intact neural circuit and compared these effects to those of visual stimulation of the same retinal ganglion cells. Ultrasound stimuli evoked precise, stable responses that looked qualitatively similar to strong visual responses but with shorter latency. We found that ultrasonic stimulation activates cells presynaptic to ganglion cells, which may include photoreceptors and interneurons. Ultrasonic stimulation is an effective and spatial-temporally precise method to activate the retina. Ultrasonic stimulation may have diagnostic potential to probe remaining retinal function in cases of photoreceptor degeneration, and therapeutic potential for use in a retinal prosthesis. In addition, ultrasound promises to be a useful tool to understand the dynamic activity in the interneuron population of the retina.

摘要： Surface selective photoacoustic (PA) medical imaging is introduced. Surface selective PA imaging is responsive to surface features and does not image sub-surface features, in contrast to conventional PA imaging. The surface PA signal can be considerably larger than the bulk PA signal, for an air-coupled (or gas-coupled) acoustic transducer. Distinguishing these two signals based on time of arrival at the transducer can further distinguish the two signals. This approach provides numerous advantages.Non-contact imaging simplifies and expedites imaging, and can serve as a replacement for visual inspection by physicians. Applications include skin screening and endoscopy.

摘要： Imaged-guided therapy for minimally invasive surgeries and interventions is provided. An image-guided device includes an elongate tubular member, such as a catheter, an annular array of capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (cMUTs) for real-time three-dimensional forward-looking acoustic imaging, and a therapeutic tool. The therapeutic tool is positioned inside an inner lumen of the elongate tubular member and can be a device for tissue ablation, such as a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device or a laser. The HIFU device is operable at high frequencies to have a sufficiently small focus spot, thus a high focal intensity. The imaging annular array is also operable at high frequencies for good acoustic imaging resolution. The high resolution forward-looking imaging array, in combination with the high frequency HIFU transducer, provides a single image-guided therapy device for precise tissue ablation and real-time imaging feedback.
