Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a transducer support, ultrasound probe, and ultrasound imaging apparatus. The ultrasound transducer support includes a first layer having first areas in which heat transfer materials are arranged and second areas in which sound absorbent materials are arranged, the first and second areas being arranged alternately; and a second layer having third areas located below the first areas in which sound absorbent materials are arranged and fourth areas located below the second areas in which heat transfer materials are arranged.
Abstract:
The ultrasonic probe includes a transducer array that generates ultrasonic waves, a backing layer that is provided on a rear surface of the transducer array, a pulsating heat pipe that absorbs heat generated in the transducer array, and a heat radiation unit that receives the heat from the pulsating heat pipe to emit the received heat to the outside.
