ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER MANUFACTURING USING RAPID-PROTOTYPING METHOD |
摘要 |
An ultrasound therapy system is provided that can include any number of features. In some embodiments, the custom transducer housings can be manufactured using a rapid-prototyping method to arrange a plurality of single-element, substantially flat transducers to share a common focal point. The rapid-prototyping method can include, for example, fused-deposition modeling, 3D printing, and stereolithography. In some embodiments, the therapy system can include a plurality of transducer modules insertable into the openings of the transducer housing. Each transducer module can include an acoustic lens, a substantially flat, single-element transducer, and a matching layer disposed between the lens and the transducer. Methods of use and manufacture are also described. |
