ULTRASONICS: Ultrasmall Force Measuring System.
NDT Update, April, 2002
A tiny measurement system that incorporates a lens as thick as two human hairs has been developed by researchers to investigate the force exerted on the wall of an artery as blood whooshes past.
In a research paper published March 28 in the Institute of Physics publication Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering , Rob Keynton and colleagues at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, and Michigan Technological University describe how they have designed and made an integrated miniature acoustical lens- transducer system that will focus ultrasound very precisely, enabling medical researchers to look at very fine detail.
Very accurate imaging systems that use high-frequency ultrasound generated by a transducer are widely used in medical diagnostics and a...
