Title:
A Kota porous sound base material with the high thermal conductivity to an ultrasonic transducer array
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5972296
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A backing block for an ultrasonic transducer array stack of an ultrasound probe is formed as a composite structure of graphite foam impregnated with an epoxy resin. The epoxy resin penetrates the porous foam structure at least part-way into the depth of the graphite foam block and, when cured, provides the backing block with good structural stability. The composite graphite foam backing block is bonded to the integrated circuit of a transducer to provide high thermal conductivity away from the transducer and good acoustic attenuation or scattering of rearward acoustic reverberations.
