Abstract
The technological advances in electronics in recent years have made it possible to manufacture polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrasound transducers with sensitivity that could be routinely used in clinical instruments for ultrasound imaging and diagnosis of tissue. Last year, we have taken a noval approach and developed electronics to excite PVDF transducers with a sharp spike of voltage with controlled energy‐frequency spectrum to generate and transmit a selected frequency band with its center frequency totally controlled by the excitation pulse and selected filter. With this approach four different center frequencies with approximate band width of 45%–50% is generated. This paper will describe the analytical model and compare theoretical data with the experimental results. As a result of this development a prototype device is fabricated to study various breast tissue types and differentiate them based on their scattering characteristics as a function of different frequency bands.
