    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for photoacoustic imaging. One such apparatus may include an ultrasound-on-a-chip device attached to a housing, an optical emitter attached to the housing, and a controller enclosed at least partially in the housing. The ultrasound-on-a-chip device may include a plurality of ultrasonic transducers. The optical emitter may include an array of diodes arranged at a periphery of the plurality of ultrasonic transducers. The controller may be configured to control the optical emitter to emit pulses of light, to control the plurality of ultrasonic transducers to detect ultrasonic waves emitted from a target to be imaged in response to exposure to the pulses of light, and to convert the ultrasonic waves to digital signals. For example, the optical emitter may be controlled to emit chirped optical pulses. The digital signals may be processed by the controller to produce image-formation data.

    Abstract: Described herein are methods and apparatuses for ultrasound coupling. Certain aspects relate to coupling bodies for acoustically coupling an ultrasound device to a subject. A coupling body may include a first surface configured to couple to an ultrasound device, a second surface configured to contact the subject, a reservoir internal to the coupling body, and a plurality of openings extending between the reservoir and one or both of the first surface and the second surface. The reservoir may contain ultrasound gel. A coupling body may include an adhesive coupled to a subpart of the surface of the coupling body. A coupling body may include a first surface configured to contact the ultrasound device and a second surface including first adhesive configured to adhere to the subject. The first surface may also include second adhesive configured to adhere to an ultrasound patch device. Certain aspects also relate to packaging coupling bodies.

    Abstract: To implement a single-chip ultrasonic imaging solution, on-chip signal processing may be employed in the receive signal path to reduce data bandwidth and an output data module may be used to move data for all received channels off-chip as a digital data stream. The digitization of received signals on-chip allows advanced digital signal processing to be performed on-chip, and thus permits the full integration of an entire ultrasonic imaging system on a single semiconductor substrate. The on-chip digitization of received signals also enables the on-chip integration of ultrasound processing and/or pre-processing to reduce the burden on off-chip computing. Data compression architectures are disclosed to facilitate the transfer of data off-chip as a digital data stream in accordance with the bandwidth requirements of standard commercially- available output interfaces.
