  • Systems, methods, and apparatuses for thermal management of ultrasound transducers
    Patent number: 11090031
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for dissipating heat from an ultrasound transducer are disclosed. A passive thermal management system including thermally conductive materials is disclosed. The passive thermal management system may include thermally conductive layers in a flexible circuit coupled to the transducer stack. The flexible circuit may be coupled to a thermally conductive bolster plate. The bolster plate may be coupled to a handle heat spreader that may be coupled to the interior surface of an ultrasound probe housing.
    Type: Grant

  • ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER ARRAY PROBE FOR SHEAR WAVE IMAGING
    Publication number: 20180161011
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer array probe (10) for shear wave imaging has a number of transducer elements which exceeds the number of transmit channels of a shear wave diagnostic imaging system. The probe includes a switch matrix or multiplexer (60) which selectively couples channels of the transmit beamformer (18) to the transducer elements of multiple shear wave apertures of the array. When the transmit beamformer is actuated, a plurality of push pulses are transmitted simultaneously to initiate shear waves in a subject.
