A novel Mills cross array enables real-time rectilinear volumetric ultrasound scanning, improving imaging for abdominal, breast, and vascular applications. This advancement offers a wider field of view and enhanced spatial resolution for clearer diagnostic images.

Area of Science:

  • Ultrasound imaging
  • Medical imaging technology
  • Array transducer design

Background:

  • Current volumetric scanners utilize a 2-D array for pyramidal scanning, suitable for cardiac imaging but limited for other applications.
  • Rectilinear volumetric scanning offers a wider field of view, beneficial for abdominal, breast, and vascular imaging.
  • Previous simulations identified the Mills cross array as optimal for rectilinear volumetric scanning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a real-time rectilinear volumetric ultrasound scanner.
  • To assess the performance of a Mills cross array in a rectilinear volumetric scanner.
  • To adapt existing ultrasound systems for improved volumetric imaging in non-cardiac applications.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 94 x 94 Mills cross array with 372 active channels operating at 5 MHz.
