Multielement ultrasonic probes for projection imaging of biological media

Visualisation of the internal structure of biological media can be performed utilizing projection method with the use of ultrasonic waves (using analogous for X-ray imaging methods). During this study a pair of multielement ultrasonic probes (sending and receiving) was designed and constructed in the form of matrices of a number of small elementary transducers intended for projection imaging of biological media in orthogonal projection. Moreover, the probes’ design was presented and their basic parameters were measured. The results obtained confirm that the designed probes are suitable for projection imaging of biological media with the use of scanning method through switching of the right pairs of sending and receiving elementary transducers.
