Development of a Miniature Real-Time High-Resolution Endoscopic 3D Ultrasound System

The proposed research program is focused on developing high-frequency ultrasound technologies for use in high-resolution imaging applications. High-frequency ultrasound is a relatively new technology that uses micro-fabricated imaging probes that are capable of an order of magnitude higher resolution than conventional ultrasound systems currently used in diagnostic imaging. Specifically, the primary objective is to develop miniaturized (
