| Zusammenfassung: | We present image results obtained using a prototype ultrasound array which demonstrates the fundamental architecture for a large area MEMS based ultrasound device for detection of breast cancer. The prototype array consists of a tiling of capacitive Micro-Machined Ultrasound Transducers (cMUTs) which have been flip-chip attached to a rigid organic substrate. The pitch on the cMUT elements is 185 um and the operating frequency is nominally 9 MHz. The spatial resolution of the new probe is comparable to production PZT probes, however the sensitivity is reduced by conditions that should be correctable. Simulated opposed-view image registration and Speed of Sound volume reconstruction results for ultrasound in the mammographic geometry are also presented |
