    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Ultrasound Technology

    Context:

    • Traditional ultrasound coupling methods can be challenging on irregular surfaces.
    • Optimizing transducer contact is crucial for high-resolution imaging.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate a novel flexible plastic cushion as an ultrasound interface.
    • To assess its efficacy in coupling transducers to irregular anatomical regions.

    Summary:

    • A new flexible plastic cushion was used as an interface in 500 ultrasonographic examinations.
    • The cushion mimics water's acoustic properties, allowing easy coupling of linear-array transducers to uneven surfaces.
    • It enables full utilization of high resolution in the near focus for superficial structure visualization.

    Impact:

    • Facilitates improved imaging of superficial structures using modern ultrasound transducers.
    • Offers a versatile solution for challenging ultrasound examinations on irregular body parts.
    • Enhances diagnostic accuracy by optimizing image quality in near-field imaging.
