    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Acoustic Imaging
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Multifrequency transducers are crucial for wideband photoacoustic (PA) imaging.
    • Traditional high-frequency transducers have limited sensitivity to larger targets like diffuse contrast agents.
    • Capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) offer a platform for novel transducer designs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and characterize novel interlaced multifrequency CMUTs.
    • To evaluate the performance of these CMUTs for PA imaging applications.
    • To demonstrate the advantages of multifrequency CMUTs for visualizing targets of varying sizes.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of CMUTs with interlaced low-frequency (82 µm) and high-frequency (36 µm) membranes.
    • Characterization of CMUTs in immersion at 1.74 MHz (low frequency) and 5.04 MHz (high frequency).
    • Demonstration of PA imaging capabilities using microvessel-mimicking phantoms and diffuse contrast agents.

    Main Results:

    • The interlaced design enables aligned beams, optimal resolution, and minimal grating lobes.
    • Low-frequency subarrays effectively visualized diffuse agent distributions.
    • High-frequency subarrays provided fine-resolution imaging for microvascular structures.
    • Spectroscopically unmixed images combined high sensitivity and high resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • Interlaced multifrequency CMUTs provide a versatile platform for advanced PA imaging.
    • These transducers overcome limitations of single-frequency devices by imaging targets across a range of sizes.
    • The technology enables simultaneous visualization of agent concentrations and microvascular anatomy.
