    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Ultrasound imaging offers real-time visualization crucial for medical interventions.
    • Small animal models in spinal cord injury research are limited by standard ultrasound system applicability.
    • Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUTs) provide advantages like smaller size and design flexibility over piezoelectric transducers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the first polymer CMUT (polyCMUT) probe specifically designed for imaging rat spinal cords.
    • To evaluate the performance and fabrication stability of a compact, 64-channel, 11 MHz polyCMUT probe.
    • To assess the potential of polyCMUT technology for next-generation ultrasound systems in neuroscience research.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a compact 11 MHz, 64-channel polyCMUT probe using a three-stage fabrication process.
    • Integrated in-house manufactured polyCMUT arrays with electronics into a research imaging system.
    • Conducted performance evaluations including electrical impedance, acoustic characterization, and in-vitro/ex-vivo imaging.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a stable fabrication process with high yield and minimal variability (resonance frequency std. dev. < 1%).
    • Successfully visualized rat spinal cord anatomical structures and real-time needle insertion.
    • Identified limitations in distinguishing gray and white matter due to frequency and bandwidth constraints.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed polyCMUT probe shows significant potential for tailored ultrasound solutions in biomedical research.
    • Further optimization of high-frequency performance is needed for in-vivo applications.
    • This technology could provide valuable tools for spinal cord injury research and therapeutic interventions.
