Problems solved by technology

If sound waves are directly injected from these piezoelectric materials into blood with low acoustic impedance, the transmission efficiency will be affected due to the large difference in acoustic impedance
[0008] For example, the acoustic impedance of the composite material is around 20MRayl, and it will be in direct contact with water or saline (1.5MRayl). The sudden change in acoustic impedance will affect the efficiency of acoustic energy from the transducer to the water.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ultrasonic transducers, in particular to an ultrasonic transducer with an optimized matching layer and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) imaging is a catheter ultrasound imaging technique used to diagnose coronary atherosclerosis and guide percutaneous coronary stenting. Intravascular ultrasound is a new diagnostic method combining non-invasive ultrasound technology and minimally invasive catheter technology. Intravascular ultrasound is the use of catheter technology to introduce a high-frequency micro-ultrasound transducer into the coronary artery cavity for detection, and obtain cross-sectional imaging of each layer of the vessel wall to assist clinicians in diagnosing intravascular lesions. [0003] The intravascular ultrasound imaging system includes three main components: an intravascular ultrasound catheter equipped with an ultrasound probe, a retra...
