Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for obtaining a 3D image in radial applications, typically endorectal imaging where the object of interrogation is the rectal wall, in particular, the present invention is related a two dimensional (2D) acoustic array transducer that is wrapped around a cylindrically shaped probe so that the 2D array is capable of steering the beam radially and axially to obtain a precise 3D data acquisition of the object of interrogation.

Description

2D ultrasound transducer and method for radiation applications technical field The present invention relates to devices and methods for obtaining 3D images in radiation applications, typically endorectal imaging with the interrogation target being the rectal wall. In particular, the present invention relates to a two-dimensional (2D) acoustic array transducer that is wrapped around a cylindrical probe such that the 2D array can steer the beam radially and axially to Accurate 3D data acquisition of interrogated targets is obtained. Background technique Prior art transducers (see FIG. 1 ) require the coordination of rotational and translational movements of the transducer by operators such as physicians and technicians. These movements are difficult to accomplish and the results vary widely, based on the coordination and skill of the operator, and due to human error in moving the probe. WO2005 / 053863A1 (same inventor and same assignee as the present application) discloses...
