| Zusammenfassung: | In this article, we present a single-shot dual-mode imaging system that uses optical ultrasound (US) as an ultrasonic pulser without a transmission circuit. The ultrasonic pulse-echo system comprises an optical US pulser generated by carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which generate a high-power photoacoustic (PA) signal and a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) receiver. By fabricating a thin CNT-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite capable of semiabsorption of the laser, a single-shot imaging system was developed. By transmitting a semipenetration light to the object, US and PA imaging were performed in a single shot. A CNT thickness of [Formula: see text] produced a maximum pressure of 154 kPa, and US was received by CMUT with a 2-MHz center frequency in PDMS. Additionally, a low-profile and near-depth imaging system was constructed with an intermediate layer of the 6-mm PDMS for the dry contact method. We performed a single-shot dual-mode imaging experiment on point and line phantoms, as well as the particle spread in the soft tissue. Thus, we examined the feasibility of the near-depth and single-shot dual-mode (US and PA) imaging system capable of a dry contact |
