  • Patent number: 11937980
    Abstract: A multi-row ultrasonic imaging apparatus and an ultrasonic imaging instrument are disclosed. The multi-row ultrasonic imaging apparatus includes a housing, and a first ultrasonic transducer, a second ultrasonic transducer, and an adjustment mechanism that are installed in the housing. Ultrasonic waves emitted by the first ultrasonic transducer and the second ultrasonic transducer can intersect to form a confocal point. At least one of the first ultrasonic transducer and the second ultrasonic transducer is connected to the adjustment mechanism to move relative to the housing under the action of the adjustment mechanism, so as to adjust the position of the confocal point.

  • Publication number: 20220039832
    Abstract: An ultrasound guided puncture device and an ultrasound guided puncture apparatus are disclosed. The ultrasound guided puncture device includes a puncture needle tube and an ultrasound transducer. One end of the puncture needle tube has a puncture needle head, and the ultrasonic transducer is housed in the puncture needle tube and extends to the puncture needle head. The ultrasonic transducer includes multiple ultrasonic array elements for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, and the multiple ultrasonic array elements are arranged at the puncture needle head. In actual use, electronic scanning imaging is performed through the multiple ultrasound array elements, hence a wide imaging range. It can effectively recognize the structure of the tissue in front of the puncture needle head, thereby facilitating the planning of the best puncture path.

  • Patent number: 10780437
    Abstract: Disclosed is a microfluidic system based on an artificially structured acoustic field, comprising a microcavity used to accommodate a solution containing particles and a ultrasonic emission device used to emit ultrasound, and further comprising a phononic crystal plate placed in the microcavity. The phononic crystal plate has an artificial cycle structure, and is used to modulate the acoustic field so as to control the particles. Also disclosed is a method of controlling microfluid particles based on an artificially structured acoustic field. In the particular embodiments, since a microcavity, an ultrasonic emission device and a phononic crystal plate are comprised, the ultrasonic emission device is used to emit ultrasound, and the phononic crystal plate has an artificial cycle structure, and is used to modulate the acoustic field so as to control the particles.

  • Publication number: 20190053786
    Abstract: A delayed excitation ultrasonic imaging method includes: generating a regulating clock, and performing, according to the regulating clock, delayed excitation on an ultrasonic transducer once or multiple times; performing data collection on an ultrasonic echo signal of the ultrasonic transducer and signals after each time of performing delayed excitation; synthesizing and superimposing data collected to obtain high sampling rate data; and performing ultrasonic imaging according to the high sampling rate data. A delayed excitation ultrasonic imaging apparatus and system are also provided. By performing delayed excitation on the ultrasonic transducer, the high-frequency ultrasonic imaging is realized by low-frequency sampling and delayed excitation, which can greatly reduce the cost of the ultrasonic imaging system.
