Title:
ELECTRICAL NETWORK FOR PHOTOACOUSTIC-ULTRASONIC PROBE, AND PHOTOACOUSTIC-ULTRASONIC PROBE HAVING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/085589
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention proposes: a new network capable of solving the problem of voltage signal level imbalance between photoacoustic and ultrasonic signals when collecting data in conventional single element transducer-based, mechanical scan method-type optical-resolution integrated photoacoustic-ultrasonic endoscopes or mini-probes or catheter devices; and a concept enabling the effective triggering of a data collection device, i.e., a digitizer, without loss of relevant data.
