Currently SL-IVUS imaging probes use either a single rotating transducer element or solid-state arrays. Probes with single rotating piezoelectric transducer have simple front-end, but have fixed focused operation, and suffers from motion artifacts. Solid-state SL-IVUS imaging probes use piezoelectric transducer arrays and electronic beam-forming. Synthetic phased array processing of signals detected with small-sized elements in these arrays limits the SNR achievable with these probes. In this study, we explore a new SL-IVUS probe architecture employing rotating phased annular CMUT arrays. We tested and compared imaging performance of the existing and proposed probe configurations through simulated point spread functions. We also two fabricated sample annular array designs operating at 20-MHz and 50-MHz. Our experimental measurements on the 20-MHz array in oil shows 105% fractional bandwidth. The 50-MHz array with parylene coating shows approximately 40% fractional bandwidth measured in water. We also present imaging results acquired from wire-targets to test the experimental point-spread functions.Yayın Damariçi yanal kesit görüntüleme için farklı prob yapılarının incelenmesi(IEEE, 2009-06-26) Şişman, Alper; Karaman, MustafaBu çalışmada dönen bir şaftın yanal yüzeyine yerleştirilmiş 8 adet içiçe halka elemanlardan oluşan yana bakan görüntüleme için yeni bir kateter yapısı incelenmiştir.

The array consists of separate, concentric transmit and receive ring arrays built on the same silicon substrate. This configuration has the potential for independent optimization of each array and uses the silicon area more effectively without any particular drawback. We designed and fabricated a 1mm diameter test array which consists of 24 transmit and 32 receive elements. We investigated synthetic phased array beamforming with a non-redundant subset (if transmit-receive element pairs of the dual-annular-ring array. For imaging experiments, we designed and constructed a programmable FPGA-based data acquisition and phased array beamforming system. Pulse-echo measurements along with imaging simulations suggest that dual-ring-annular array should provide performance suitable for real-time FLAVUS applications.Yayın Solid-state arrays and beamformers for side-looking intravascular ultrasonic imaging(Işık Üniversitesi, 2010-06-08) Şişman, Alper; Karaman, Mustafa; Işık Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Elektronik Mühendisliği Doktora ProgramıCurrent solid-state intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) devices use a one-dimensional (1-D) rectangular array wrapped around the cylindrical catheter. Beamforming in these devices is limited to synthetic phased array processing, and the image quality is degraded by low signal to noise ratio (SNR) and lack of focusing in elevation. We propose new solid-state reconfigurable cylindrical array configurations, based on non-uniform aperture sampling, enabling realization of low-cost integrated phased array beamformers based on the latest IC and transducer integration techniques. We employed non-uniform (Fresnel) aperture sampling with identical differential delays between adjacent elements to reduce dynamic beamformer complexity. For this purpose, the angles of the element boundaries and centers are determined by equalizing path difference of neighboring elements. For Side Looking-IVUS (SLIVUS), the image plane is scanned through stepping the active aperture, and the active array must be reformed in each step. Fresnel sampled ring array leads to a simplified phased array beamformer with N/2 identical differential delays. The same logic applies to a two-dimensional (2-D) array with NL×NE-elements over a cylindrical patch. We compared the proposed and existing array designs through numerical point spread function (PSF) simulations. The uniform and Fresnel sampled 1-D ring arrays perform similarly in terms of beam quality while the latter improves image SNR by a factor of ?NL due to synthetic vs full phased array processing. The Fresnel sampled 2-D array performs dramatically better in elevation compared to 1-D ring array. The additional contribution of 2-D array on image quality is high SNR produced by phased array beamforming. The proposed Fresnel sampling of cylindrical aperture simplifies phased array beamformer by halving the required delay element count and transforms the complex 2-D beamformer into a separable beamformer that requires simple 1-D beamformers. The resulting 1-D and 2-D SLIVUS array configurations could be realizable using monolithic integration of the analog beamformers with transducer arrays.Yayın Annular CMUT arrays for side looking intravascular ultrasound imaging(IEEE, 2007) Zahorian, Jaime; Güldiken, Rasim Oytun; Gürün, Gökçe; Qureshi, Muhammad Shakeel; Balantekin, Müjdat; Değertekin, Fahrettin Levent; Carlier, Stephane; Şişman, Alper; Karaman, MustafaAlthough side looking intravascular ultrasound (SL-IVUS) imaging systems using single element piezoelectric transducers set the resolution standard in the assessment of the extent of coronary artery disease, improvements in transducer performance are needed to perform harmonic imaging and high resolution imaging of vulnerable plaque. With their small channel count; annular arrays exploiting the inherent broad bandwidth of CMUTs and electronic focusing capability of integrated electronics provide a path for desired SL-IVUS imaging catheters. In this paper, we first describe the design, low temperature fabrication of an 8401 mu m diameter, 8 element CMUT annular array. Testing of the individual elements in oil shows a uniform device behavior with 100% fractional bandwidth around 20MHz without including the effects of attenuation and diffraction. We also present linear scan imaging results obtained on wire targets in oil, tissue and tissue mimicking phantoms using both unfocused and dynamically focused transducers. The results for axial and lateral resolution are in agreement predicted by the simulations and show the feasibility of this approach for high resolution SL-IVUS imaging.Yayın Solid-state SL-IVUS arrays based on non-uniform aperture sampling(IEEE, 2010) Şişman, Alper; Karaman, Mustafa; Gürün, Gökçe; Değertekin, Fahrettin LeventWe propose new reconfigurable ring and cylindrical array designs using non-uniform (Fresnel) aperture sampling with identical differential delays between adjacent elements which reduces the beamformer complexity. For side-looking intravascular ultrasound (SL-IVUS), the image plane is scanned through stepping the active subarray which is reformed in each step. A ring array with such sampling leads to a simplified phased array beamformer with N/2 identical differential delays. The same logic applies to a two-dimensional (2-D) array with NLNE-elements over a cylindrical patch. The 2-D beamformer becomes separable along the elevation and the lateral dimensions and possesses the delay symmetry in both dimensions. Consequently, the overall phased array beamforming can be realized by using NL elevational parallel beamformers each with (NE/2)-channel and the output of which is fed to a (NL/2)-channel lateral beamformer. We tested and compared the proposed and existing array designs through numerical PSF simulations.Yayın A tunable analog delay element for high-frequency dynamic beamforming(IEEE, 2009) Gürün, Gökçe; Şişman, Alper; Zahorian, Jaime S.; Satır, Sarp; Karaman, Mustafa; Hasler, Paul E.; Değertekin, Fahrettin LeventImplementing beamforming for high frequency arrays is challenging because of the accurate delay requirements at high frequencies. High frequency digital beamforming is not suitable for catheter based applications as a large number of cables is required between the array and the external beamformer. A possible solution is to perform analog beamforming on an integrated circuit adjacent or monolithically integrated to the imaging array. In this study, we introduce an improved voltage in voltage out low pass filter as an analog delay cell for high frequency dynamic beamformers. This circuit can generate three times more delay with a given bandwidth when compared to conventional low pass filters. Delay of the circuit is tunable and the gain of the cell is inherently very close to unity. The proposed delay cell operates single ended and therefore is more suitable for CMUT operation which generates single ended output. We designed a test beamformer for a 30MHz, equal area, annular array with 100% bandwidth using the proposed delay cell and the unit-delay focusing architecture. Required delays are implemented using a delay line made up of improved delay elements with tunable delays. To demonstrate functionality we designed and fabricated a custom front-end IC in a 0.5µm standard CMOS process. The IC chip consists of 8 transimpedance amplifiers, voltage-to-current converters, the analog dynamic beamformer, and two buffers. We present results of preliminary imaging experiments that demonstrate the focusing capability.Yayın An analog integrated circuit beamformer for high-frequency medical ultrasound imaging(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2012-10) Gürün, Gökçe; Zahorian, Jaime S.; Şişman, Alper; Karaman, Mustafa; Hasler, Paul E.; Değertekin, Fahrettin LeventWe designed and fabricated a dynamic receive beamformer integrated circuit (IC) in 0.35-mu m CMOS technology. This beamformer IC is suitable for integration with an annular array transducer for high-frequency (30-50 MHz) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging. The beamformer IC consists of receive preamplifiers, an analog dynamic delay-and-sum beamformer, and buffers for 8 receive channels. To form an analog dynamic delay line we designed an analog delay cell based on the current-mode first-order all-pass filter topology, as the basic building block. To increase the bandwidth of the delay cell, we explored an enhancement technique on the current mirrors. This technique improved the overall bandwidth of the delay line by a factor of 6. Each delay cell consumes 2.1-mW of power and is capable of generating a tunable time delay between 1.75 ns to 2.5 ns. We successfully integrated the fabricated beamformer IC with an 8-element annular array. Experimental test results demonstrated the desired buffering, preamplification and delaying capabilities of the beamformer.
