Abstract: An ultrasound probe includes a connector and a probe head that includes a mount located in a tip part of the probe head, various linear matrices of transducers that emit acoustic waves with a given central wavelength and detect backscattered acoustic waves. The linear matrices are electrically connected to the connector, wherein each linear matrix from the linear matrices of transducers includes a first side along a first direction and a second side along a second direction. The second side is smaller than the first side. The linear matrices are fixed to the mount and juxtaposed on the mount with the first sides adjacent. Each linear matrix from the linear matrices of transducers is covered with a single cylindrical acoustic lens that focuses the acoustic waves emitted by the linear matrix. Each cylindrical acoustic lens includes a cylindrical axis substantially parallel to the first direction.

Abstract: While 3D ultrasound imaging is becoming a powerful tool in medical field. the main drawback is the difficulty to image large 3D volume. mainly related to the dimensions of the 2D array of transducers. In order to not lose in spatial resolution, it is necessary to use an array of transducers. wherein the size of the transducers does not exceed the wavelength of the ultrasound wave. Such requirement leads to dimensions of array for imaging large 3D volume which are not reachable or at too high cost with the current technology. The present disclosure overcomes the above technology limitation by using greater transducers, and where each transducer has a reception surface with a curved shape or is fitted with an acoustic lens. Such configuration of transducers leads to 2D array of transducers suitable for imaging large 3D volume, as a brain or a heart. with high resolution and high sensitivity.

Abstract: An acousto-optic imaging method in which light waves and unfocused acoustic waves having various directions of propagation m are emitted in a medium, by spatially modulating the amplitude of the ultrasonic transducers of an array of transducers according to several periodic spatial amplitude modulations j, and the resulting optical signal Smj(t) is captured. For each direction of propagation m, the signals Smj(t) are spatially demodulated in order to determine a signal Sm(t) used to reconstruct the image of the medium.
