ACOUSTIC IMAGING SYSTEM WITH NON-FOCUSING LENS

摘要

Acoustic imaging systems are provided. A preferred system includes a transducer lens configured to mate with a transducer body. The transducer lens is configured to propagate acoustic energy. Preferably, the transducer lens is formed, at least partially, of an acoustic-matching material, which exhibits acoustic properties corresponding to acoustic properties of a body to be imaged. Methods also are provided.
