1. An ultrasound probe comprising:
an ultrasound transducer having an emission surface for generating ultrasound waves; and an acoustical lens with a first part having an inner surface facing the emission surface, wherein the inner surface comprises a plurality of protrusions and/or recesses opposing the emission surface of the ultrasound transducer at non-orthogonal angles for scattering reflections of ultrasound waves, wherein the acoustical lens further comprises a coupling layer covering at least a part of the inner surface and mating with the plurality of protrusions and/or recesses. |
