Piezoelectric Composite Micromachined Multifrequency Transducers for High-Resolution, High-Contrast Ultrasound Imaging for Improved Prostate Cancer Assessment
Abstract
From the original abstract: The objective of this proposal is to develop new technology for substantially improving the sensitivity of ultrasound to prostate cancer. This technology will be enabled by recent advances in ultrasound transducer fabrication techniques and ultrasound contrast imaging approaches. We hypothesize that a transrectal ultrasound probe utilizing a novel dual-frequency ultra-broadband approach will provide a new highly-sensitive diagnostic technique for prostate cancer imaging. The attached final report summarizes our progress towards the originally stated aims of the project, our accomplishments, our challenges, as well as a summary of published materials and presented abstracts. We have provided basic details in the attached text. Extensive additional data, discussion, and conclusions are included in the attached published manuscripts.
