Ultrasonic ImaginG

Finding New Applications for Ultrasonic waves

Research & Development

Features

•  Non-scanning image generation analogous to an optical CCD camera
•  Separate ultrasonic lens structure for irradiation system and image formation
•  Separate irradiation and imaging systems allow improved detection
•  High signal to noise ratio increases imaging capability

Applications

•   Ultrasonic hull inspection for hull integrity, corrosion, and weld condition
•   Ultrasonic ballast tank inspections
•   Underwater hull inspection
•   Ultrasonic lens focuses the energy and forms a complete image

 Features

• Use photoacoustic or optoacoustic effect to image living tissue (tumors)
• Non-invasive and non-ionizing imaging of tissues and tumors
• Cancer detection using pulsed laser excitation and ultrasonic detection
• Non-scanning optoacoustic imaging using ultrasonic lens to create planar image
• Dual system can generate 3-D images for further processing  

Applications

•   Detection and treatment of tumors
•   Detection of diseased blood vessel (micro-vessels)
•   Either out-patient or in-home examination
•   Doctor’s office, healthcare clinic, home for the elderly
