BIDIMENSIONAL ULTRASONIC ARRAY FOR VOLUMETRIC IMAGING

摘要

Ultrasound transducer comprising an array of electro-acoustic micro-cells, a first and a second group of transducer elements arranged substantially along two directions (x, y), each element being defined by a group of micro-cells of the array, at least part of the micro-cells of each group being electrically interconnected by a first connection pattern having shape with main orientation along one of the two directions (x, y), characterized in that each group of micro- cells defining each element comprises micro-cells interconnected by further connection pattern or patterns having shape with main orientation along the other of the two directions (y, x).
