HIFU Transducer: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
BII's HIFU transducers (high intensity focused
ultrasound) consist of bowl aperture with focal point
for physical, chemical,
biological, thermal and high-stress uses in nonlinear underwater acoustics:
cavitation, streaming, sonic processes and HIFU R&D. The focus
of linear or annular array can be manipulated with array beamforming
(Beam Steering and Focusing).
BII provides custom-fit designs on frequency, geometric focus,
Fresnel number, focal diameter, length and intensity for industrial,
biomedical, marine and research applications. Please contact BII for
information on MRI compatibility or safety.
HIFU Transducer: high power, high efficiency and long continuous
operating
FBD: -3dB Focal Beam Diameter, in mm;
FD: -3dB Focal Depth, in mm. FBD and FD
determine the best lateral and axial resolutions. |
