One probe, two frequencies – numerical optimization of dual-frequency transducers
At the heart of any ultrasound system, lies the transducer. The transducer is used for applications ranging from creating images of foetuses and disintegrating kidney stones (lithotripsy), to detecting cracks in gas pipes. Without it, the world at large would be a different place. See…
Improvements in ultrasound transducer design and manufacturing
All ultrasound technologies in health care, maritime, and oil & gas make use ultrasonic transducers. For this reason, transducer design is a key research task of the Centre for Innovative Ultrasound Solutions (CIUS). Ultrasonic transducers are devices that convert electrical signals into mechanical vibrations and…
