  • Methods and system for maintaining polarization of an ultrasound transducer
    Patent number: 11029400
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for maintaining polarization of an ultrasound probe and increasing image quality of an image generated during an imaging procedure. As one example, a method for an ultrasound imaging system may include executing one or more imaging sequences with an ultrasound transducer; and applying a repolarization sequence to the ultrasound transducer one or more of before, after, and interleaved between the one or more imaging sequences, where the repolarization sequence is separate from the one or more imaging sequences.

  • Acoustic Transducer for Swath Beams
    Publication number: 20110211424
    Abstract: A swath beam acoustic transducer (100) for projecting and/or receiving acoustic swath beams (108). The transducer comprises an array of active acoustic elements (104) that are arranged to collectively provide an elongate concave radiation surface (106) with an associated acoustic aperture (110). The array of active acoustic elements (104) is operable to project and/or receive acoustic swath beams (108) via the radiation surface (106).
