Microultrasound arrays for diagnosis of skin pathologies

Dermus Skinscanner系统基于单元件传感器；现在提出的项目旨在探索如何实现微超声阵列成像以提高其性能。具体目标包括：1。了解已建立的和潜在的微超声在皮肤病理成像方面的能力，包括单元件和阵列传感器。探索不同的可能性，以设计能够满足皮肤扫描的需要的微声阵列制造。建立一个或多个实用的制造路线，并建立基于计算机的模型来展示其性能。制造可行的原型装置，并展示其基本性能参数及其准确诊断皮肤病变的潜力。

The Dermus Skinscanner system is based on single-element transducers; the project that is now proposed aims to explore how to implement microultrasound array imaging to improve its performance.Specific objectives include:1. To understand established and potential capabilities of microultrasound for imaging of skin pathologies, including with single-element and array transducers.2. To explore the different possibilities for microultrasound array fabrication with designs able to meet the needs of skin scanning.3. To establish one or more practical routes for fabrication and to computer-based models to demonstrate their performance.4. To fabricate viable prototype devices and to demonstrate their basic performance parameters and their potential for accurate diagnosis of skin pathologies.
