Transducer technology for the whole body
The piezoelectric material in an ultrasound transducer is a fundamental determinant of system image quality. However, despite many innovations in signal processing and beamformer architecture over recent decades, the same piezoelectric material – PZT (lead-zirconatetitanate) ceramics or PZT-composites – has been used for medical imaging for more than 40 years. The typical ceramic material achieves 70% polarization.
That changed with Philips' development of PureWave crystal technology, a new transducer technology using piezocrystals that exhibit a quantum improvement in electromechanical coupling and strain levels. Compared to PZT ceramics, PureWave crystals are purer, more uniform, have lower losses, and are able to transfer energy with greater precision and efficiency.
By combining PureWave crystal technology with precisely engineered matching layers and backing material, it is now possible to provide frequency coverage from a single transducer that was previously only attainable from two transducers. This new class of piezoelectric crystals significantly improves efficiency in bandwidth compared with conventional PZT ceramics, and results in images of remarkable clarity and detail with greater uniformity throughout the entire sector.
