Forward-viewing CMUT arrays for medical imaging

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 51(7), 887–895.

MeSH headings : Electric Capacitance; Equipment Design; Equipment Failure Analysis; Miniaturization; Reproducibility of Results; Sensitivity and Specificity; Transducers; Ultrasonography / instrumentation; Ultrasonography / methods
TL;DR: The designed, forward-viewing annular CMUT array is suitable for mounting on the front surface of a cylindrical catheter probe and can provide Doppler information for measurement of blood flow and guiding information for navigation through blood vessels in intravascular ultrasound imaging.
