Design and characterization of A 10 cm annular Array Transducer for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Applications
Abstract A large transducer to generate high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for surgery via tissue ablation is described. Designed to address the need for therapeutic applications into deep tissue, the device operates at 1.25 MHz. In order to increase focus-to-entrance intensity ratios, the design was optimized to have a natural focal distance of 10 cm at fA.0. Variable focus is achieved by ...

However, when trauma occurs and large portions of the epidermis and dermis are destroyed, it may be necessary to put a structure in place to aid the body in generating new tissue. NovoSorb® BTM is a fully ...
