All-Optical Ultrasound System Provides Video-Rate, 2D Imaging

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers demonstrated the use of an all-optical ultrasound imager for video-rate, real-time 2D imaging of biological tissue. The achievement is an advance toward making all-optical ultrasound practical for routine clinical use. In contrast to conventional ultrasound imagers, which use arrays of electronic transducers to transmit and receive, all-optical imagers use light to both transmit and receive ultrasound waves. Pulsed laser light is used to generate ultrasound waves. Scanning mirrors control where the waves are transmitted into the tissue. A fiber optic sensor receives the...Read full article
