Volumetric (3D) Imaging
Why use the Vantage system for volumetric and 3D imaging?
-
- Arrays with (random) sparse apertures using multiplexers
- CMUT technology, an economical solution for high-element count matrix arrays
- Row-column arrays that provide high image quality, yet require fewer system channels

Shown above is a 3D image acquired by the Vantage system with a 1.75 MHz, 16×16 matrix array (Imasonic). Data was acquired with 64 diverging waves, originated from virtual sources behind 64 sub-apertures consisting of 3×3 elements each, evenly distributed across the matrix array. The image was reconstructed using TFM, and the bi-plane images are displayed in real-time to guide inspection and data capture.
