    A new annular phased array transducer offers superior ultrasound imaging of abdominal organs, even with bowel gas interference. This advanced technology improves visualization of the liver, spleen, and pancreas.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Diagnostic Ultrasound
    • Radiology

    Context:

    • Comparison of ultrasound transducer technologies
    • Evaluation of upper abdominal sonography
    • Assessment of imaging quality in challenging cases

    Purpose:

    • To compare the efficacy of a new annular phased array transducer against a conventional rotating sector transducer for upper abdominal ultrasound.
    • To assess the ability of the new transducer to delineate organ boundaries and image parenchymal organs under conditions of bowel gas obscuration.

    Summary:

    • A 3-month study involving 177 patients compared a new annular phased array transducer with a conventional rotating sector transducer for upper abdominal sonography.
    • The annular array transducer demonstrated superior performance in outlining the liver, spleen, and pancreas in both near and far zones.

  • Enhanced lateral resolution with the annular array enabled clear sonographic imaging of parenchymal organs despite significant bowel gas interference.

    • Impact:

    • The findings suggest the annular phased array transducer is a more effective tool for upper abdominal ultrasound examinations.
    • Improved visualization capabilities can lead to more accurate diagnoses and better patient management in diagnostic imaging.
    • This technology holds promise for overcoming common limitations in ultrasound imaging, particularly in patients with obscuring bowel gas.
