Two dimensional ultrasonic scanning system and method

摘要

A transducer array is disclosed for use in an ultrasonic scanner for imaging a brain in a skull. The transducer array includes: a flexible substrate that can conform to the shape of the skull; an array of transducers mounted on the substrate; a backing block mounted on the back of each transducer of the array; and circuitry for coupling electric signals to and from each transducer of the array.
