A new 100 MHz B-mode ultrasound backscatter microscope images microscopic structures in living specimens. This high-resolution instrument achieves 36-micron resolution and 5 frames per second for rapid feedback.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Microscopy
  • Ultrasound Technology

Background:

  • B-mode ultrasound is a powerful imaging technique.
  • Microscopy allows for the visualization of fine structures.
  • Current limitations exist in imaging internal structures of living specimens at microscopic scales.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the construction and operation of a 100 MHz B-mode ultrasound backscatter microscope.
  • To extend B-mode ultrasound capabilities into microscopy for imaging living specimens.
  • To achieve high resolution and rapid frame rates for microscopic ultrasound imaging.

Main Methods:
