Ultrasound transducers for real time two and three dimensional image acquisition

摘要

A present invention shows some schemes of a cross transducer with one transmit and one receive array for the three dimensional image acquisition. Designs of the cross transducer with and without a central shared element are described. Conditions for an extension of a frequency range and the method of an extended frequency range for use of the cross transducer are suggested. A new method of image formation allowed by the above is also presented.
