Abstract

Ultrasound is an attractive imaging modality for guiding surgeries or minimally invasive interventions mainly because it is real time, safe, portable, and low cost. Further technological advancements in ultrasound instrumentation, such as further miniaturization, 3-D visualization, multimodal imaging capability, and direct integration with therapeutic tools, will result in even wider acceptance of ultrasound for image guidance. Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) technology based on standard silicon microfabrication techniques can potentially produce devices that can address the clinical needs in ultrasound image guidance as demonstrated by integrated endoscopic 2-D arrays and intracardiac imaging catheters implemented using this technology.
