Abstract:
An electro-acoustic transducer includes a conductive substrate provided with at least one cell and at least one electrode, and a pad substrate disposed corresponding to the conductive substrate and provided with at least one pad corresponding to the electrode, in which at least one of the electrode and the pad includes an electric pattern for electric connection and at least one dummy pattern that is provided around the electric pattern to be separated the electric pattern.
Abstract:
A breast scanning apparatus which uses photoacoustic ultrasonic waves is provided. The breast scanning apparatus includes a body which includes a first hole and a second hole which are horizontally parallel to each other; a first compression plate and a second compression plate, at least one of which is movable in a vertical direction with respect to the body; a first sliding plate and a second sliding plate, which are respectively installed on surfaces of the first compression plate and the second compression plate and are facing each other and are movable in a first direction; a first ultrasonic transducer array in the first compression plate and facing the first sliding plate; and a first laser head in the first compression plate, which is movable in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.
Abstract:
An ultrasonic transducer and ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus are provided. An ultrasonic transducer includes a substrate including a trench formed in a lower surface of the substrate; and a first element and a second element formed on an upper surface of the substrate and are located adjacent to each other, wherein the trench is positioned between the first element and the second element, wherein the first element and the second element each include a plurality of ultrasonic cells that are two-dimensionally arranged; wherein a first contour line of the first element and a second contour line of the second element, which are adjacent to each other, each form a zig-zag line which are complementary with each other, and the trench is formed in a zig-zag pattern between the first contour line and the second contour line.
