Title:
METHOD FOR GENERATING ULTRASONIC IMAGE USING CONCAVE ARRAY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/005515
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for generating an ultrasonic image using a concave array, wherein: a concave array having at least one or more ultrasonic transducers is positioned on a cornea; an ultrasonic image is generated by using the ultrasonic waves transmitted and received through the concave array; and the generated ultrasonic image is displayed, wherein a focusing point of the concave array exists on an image of the vitreous body. Since a concave form of the concave array is matched with the form of the cornea, ultrasonic refraction is minimized and a loss of ultrasonic energy is minimized whereby a posterior segment is efficiently imaged ultrasonically.
