New Ultrasonic Transducer Technology

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 01 Jul 2005
A new capacitive microfabricated ultrasound transducer (CMUT) technology is expected to provide superior and efficient volumetric four-dimensional (4D) imaging for a wide range of applications. More...
These include improved manufacturing processes, a broader frequency range, and higher image resolution, allowing clinicians to evaluate the next level of microscopic detail within traditional and 4D ultrasound images.

Siemens Medical Solutions Ultrasound Division (Erlangen, Germany) has announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire the developer of this new technology, Sensant Corp. (San Leandro, CA, USA), for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition will allow Siemens to develop this sophisticated transducer ultrasound technology and commercialize next-generation transducers based on this innovation.

"Not only should this technology enable higher frequency imaging, which will allow clinicians to view the smallest details within the body, but the integrated circuit technology should also deliver superior quality control and manufacturing processes,” said Klaus Hambuechen, president and CEO of Siemens Medical Solutions Ultrasound Division. "Additionally, it will be easier to tightly integrate the electronics of the transducer and the ultrasound system. This improved integration is where the greatest possibilities for ultrasound imaging and manufacturing advancements can be realized, especially in the area of volumetric [4D] imaging.”
