Acoustic beam shaping with high degrees of freedom is critical for ultrasound imaging, acoustic regulation, and stimulation. The ability to fully regulate the acoustic pressure profile relative to its ...

Ultrasound is well suited for guiding many minimally invasive procedures, but its use is often precluded by the poor visibility of medical devices. When devices are not visible, they can damage ...

A prototype low-frequency speaker one-third the volume of a traditional subwoofer has been developed by Cupertino, CA, audio technology supplier Tymphany. Called a linear-array transducer (LAT), the ...

Accurate visualization of the focal spot in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is essential for safe and effective therapeutic guidance. Passive acoustic mapping (PAM) provides a noninvasive ...

In the medical applications of ultrasonic imaging, sound waves of high frequency are usually employed to produce in-depth cross-sectional images of internal organs. Special multi-element transducers ...
