Title:
FLEXIBLE ULTRASONIC PROBE, ULTRASONIC IMAGING MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, AND MEASUREMENT METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/227261
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A flexible ultrasonic probe (100), an ultrasonic imaging measurement system, and a measurement method. The probe (100) comprises a flexible transducer array (2) and a housing (1) having two ends each in communication with the outside. The housing (1) has a filling cavity (4) with an opening at one end provided therein, the opening of the filling cavity (4) faces one end of the housing (1), and the flexible transducer array (2) is connected to one end of the housing (1) and the flexible transducer array (2) is also sealingly connected to the opening end of the filling cavity (4), such that the filling cavity (4) forms a sealed chamber for filling with a fluid filler. The probe (100) further comprises a deformation measurement device (5) arranged in the housing (1) and used for measuring the positions of different points of the flexible transducer array (2). By providing the flexible ultrasonic probe (100) with the filling cavity (4) and filling the filling cavity (4) with the fluid filler, the flexible transducer array (2) can implement measurement and imaging of detection targets with different curvatures, and by providing the integrated deformation measurement device (5), the flexible transducer array (2) can implement real-time measurement and feedback of the curvature of each array element, and improve the flexibility and automation of imaging measurement.
