    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and associated methods of forming the systems and/or apparatus may include imaging devices that may comprise multiple arrays of ultrasonic transducer elements for use in a variety of applications. These multiple arrays of ultrasonic transducer elements can be arranged to form a three-dimensional imaging device. Non-coplanar arrays of ultrasonic transducer elements can be coupled together. These imaging devices may be used as medical imaging devices. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

    Abstract translation: 形成系统和/或装置的系统,装置和相关联的方法可以包括可以包括用于各种应用的超声换能器元件的多个阵列的成像装置。 这些多个超声波换能器阵列阵列可被布置成形成三维成像装置。 非共面阵列的超声换能器元件可以耦合在一起。 这些成像装置可以用作医疗成像装置。 公开了附加装置,系统和方法。

    Abstract: A photoacoustic medical imaging device may include a substrate, an array of ultrasonic transducers on the substrate, at least one groove etched on the substrate, at least one optical fiber, and at least one facet. Each optical fiber is disposed in one of the grooves. Each facet is etched in one of the grooves and coated with a layer of metal having high infrared reflectivity. Each optical fiber is configured to guide infrared light from a light source through the fiber and toward the respective facet. The facet is configured to reflect the infrared light toward a target.
