Title: Ultrasonic sensor which detects direct and reflected signals emanating from sample being imaged
Inventor: COX BEN
IPC: A61B8/08
Filed: 2006-11-24
Abstract: An imaging system comprises a sensor arrangement (e.g. piezoelectric array) for detecting an ultrasonic signal which emanates from a sample and a means for analysing the sensor arrangement output signals to derive a property for different portions of the sample. A reflector arrangement reflects a portion of the signal generated within the sample which is not directed to the sensor arrangement, such that it is reflected to the sensor arrangement. The sensor arrangement output signals are processed over a time period which covers the direct receipt of the signal generated within the sample by the sensor arrangement as well as the reflected portion of the signal generated within the sample. The use of a reflector arrangement extends the effective aperture of a small sensor array which reduces artefacts and improves resolution. The ultrasonic waves emanating from the sample may be excited by an excitation source - the system may be a photoacoustic, magnetoacoustic, electroacoustic or thermoacoustic tomography system.
