This paper describes the design, fabrication, and characterization of a micromachined high-
frequency Pb (Mg1/3Nb2/3) O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) single crystal/epoxy 1–3 composite …

Ultrasound imaging with high resolution and large penetration depth has been increasingly
adopted in medical diagnosis, surgery guidance, and treatment assessment. Conventional …

Medical ultrasound has been widely used in cardiology, obstetrics, gynecology, prostate
evaluation, and blood vessels assessment. Advances in medical ultrasound have been …

Ultrasonography is well known as a relatively low cost and non-invasive modality for real-
time imaging. In recent years, various high frequency array transducers have been …

In this paper, a single crystal PMN-PT micromachined 1-3 composite circular array (50
element,~ 2.2 mm in diameter) was developed for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging …

Wider operational bandwidth is an important requirement of an ultrasound transducer across
many applications. Naturally occurring resonating systems utilise structures containing a …
