Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material testing or analysis, and in particular to a bonding detection method and system of an ultrasonic transducer. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasonic transducers are essential devices for modern medical imaging. Their core function is to convert electrical signals into acoustic signals, enabling nondestructive testing within tissues. As a specialized type of ultrasonic transducer, the ICE (Intracavity Ultrasound) transducer, with its compactness and flexibility, is widely used in cardiovascular interventional procedures. By acquiring high-resolution tissue images within the cardiac cavity, it provides real-time surgical navigation support. Due to its complex structure and high precision requirements, the manufacturing and testing of ICE transducers has become a crucial component of technological development.

[0003] The adhesive layer is a critical component of ultrasound transducers, and its thickness significantly impacts transducer performance. Excessive adhesive layer thickness can increase ultrasound attenuation and reduce energy transfer efficiency, while too little can cause acoustic impedance mismatch, impacting imaging quality. For ICE transducers in particular, the thickness distribution of the adhesive layer directly impacts the resolution and accuracy of intracardiac imaging. Therefore, accurately measuring and optimizing adhesive layer thickness is key to improving ICE transducer performance.

[0004] Currently, adhesive layer thickness testing relies primarily on single ultrasonic or optical methods, which often only provide a limited understanding of thickness and fail to fully reflect the true condition of the adhesive layer. Furthermore, existing testing technologies, mostly focused on quality assessment, fail to provide effective solutions for optimizing adhesive thickness, limiting further improvements in transducer performance. To address these issues, a comprehensive approach combining multiple testing methods is urgently needed to support adhesive thickness correction and optimization.

[0091] Specifically, the transducer sample is fixed on the test table to ensure its stability. The ultrasonic probe inside the transducer is activated, and the probe begins to transmit ultrasonic waves and receive reflected waves. The ultrasonic waves emitted by different electronic phase-controlled units inside the ultrasonic probe pass through the adhesive layer and are reflected back. The probe captures these reflected waves and records the phase difference from transmission to reception. To obtain the phase difference, the ultrasonic wave and reflected wave need to be converted from time domain signals to frequency domain signals. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0100]

[0101] A laser interferometer is used to emit a laser beam, which is irradiated on the surface of the adhesive layer to generate a reflected laser beam. The interference pattern change between the reflected laser beam and the reference beam is analyzed to obtain the surface deformation of the adhesive layer. The vertical thickness of the adhesive layer between different electronic phase-controlled units of the adhesive layer and the Pebax tube is calculated based on the interference pattern change to obtain thickness laser data. Based on the thickness ultrasonic data and the thickness laser data, the two data are fused using the acousto-optic weighted averaging algorithm to obtain the thickness fusion data.

In a feasible implementation scheme, the first transmission power is 5 MHz, the second transmission power is 10 MHz, and the single increase gradient is 0.5 MHz. Therefore, it can be seen that the number of tests m is 10 times; the standard receiving power refers to the receiving power obtained after testing using recognized equipment in a specific clinical or experimental environment.

[0109] By gradient-raising the transmitting power of the ultrasonic transducer and recording the test receiving power of the receiving probe, the power error rate is calculated. This allows for an accurate evaluation of the power transfer efficiency of the ultrasonic system's bonding thickness at different powers, thereby providing power error data for bonding detection and correction of the ultrasonic transducer.

[0121] Specifically, a bionic cardiac model capable of simulating the cyclical contraction and relaxation of cardiac chambers was constructed. ICE images of the bionic cardiac model in the diastolic state were collected and compared with standard clinical images (standard images refer to high-quality images obtained using recognized equipment and techniques in a specific clinical or experimental environment). The ICE images and standard clinical images were spatially aligned, and the static imaging error rate between the two images was calculated by calculating the deviation value of each pixel. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0130] ;

[0131] in, represents the imaging error rate, represents the static imaging error rate, represents the dynamic imaging error rate.

[0132] By combining static and dynamic error analysis with a biomimetic cardiac cavity model, the imaging performance of ultrasound transducers can be comprehensively evaluated. Static error reflects the transducer's accuracy in the diastolic state, while dynamic error quantifies its performance under motion conditions by comparing optical flow features. This combined analysis improves the overall evaluation of transducer performance in real cardiac cavity scenarios and provides accurate imaging error data for ultrasonic transducer adhesion detection and correction.

[0138] The adhesion detection method of an ultrasonic transducer in this embodiment is compared before and after implementation to verify the effectiveness of the method of this embodiment. The comparative experimental results are shown in Table 1, wherein the adhesion thickness detection result of the ICE transducer of production line A before implementation is 0.312mm, the power error with the standard receiving power is 9%, and the imaging error with the standard clinical image is 6%, which is difficult to be applied to high-precision cardiac imaging. The adhesion thickness detection result of the ICE transducer of production line A after implementation is 0.305mm, the power error with the standard receiving power is reduced to 2%, and the imaging error with the standard clinical image is reduced to 2%. In addition, various errors before and after the implementation of production line B have also been improved, which shows that the adhesion detection method of the ultrasonic transducer proposed in the present invention can accurately detect various indicators of the bonding layer, including thickness, power and imaging. By analyzing and calculating the power error rate and imaging error rate, the thickness of the bonding layer is corrected, thereby improving the performance of the ultrasonic transducer.
