This paper investigates the effect of transducerintegrated apodization in row–column-
addressed arrays and presents a beamforming approach specific for such arrays. Row …

This paper demonstrates the fabrication, characterization, and experimental imaging results
of a 62+ 62 element λ/2-pitch row-column-addressed capacitive micromachined ultrasonic …

Conventional echocardiography is the leading modality for noninvasive cardiac imaging. It
has been recently illustrated that high-frame-rate echocardiography using diverging waves …

This article discusses the application of sparse synthetic aperture focusing techniques
(SAFTs) for fast and accurate ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) imaging of solids in …

This article presents improvements to ultrasonic imaging of solid platelike structures using
the minimum-variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming processor. The primary …

The analysis of the beampattern is the base of sparse arrays design process. However, in
the case of bidimensional arrays, this analysis has a high computational cost, turning the …

This work provides a guide to design ultrasonic synthetic aperture systems for non-grid two-
dimensional sparse arrays such as spirals or annular segmented arrays. It presents an …

Objective: Although plane wave imaging (PWI) with multiple plane waves (PWs) steered at
different angles enables ultrafast three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasonic imaging, there is still a …

This paper discusses some improvements to ultrasonic synthetic imaging in solids with
primary applications to nondestructive testing of materials and structures. Specifically, the …

Ocular trauma often involves intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) that pose challenges in
accurate diagnosis due to their size, shape, and material composition. In this study, we …
