126C, Phoenix Convention Center Title: Engineering Challenges for Medical Ultrasound Transducers
Speakers: Siddiq Qidwai, George Hazelrigg, Mary Toney, Kara Peter
Abstract: Ultrasound transducers for medical applications present
engineering challenges on several fronts. High-quality acoustic data-gath-
ering for medical imaging requires the use of a wide variety of dissimilar
materials, electrical connectivity to hundreds or thousands of piezoelectric
NSF RESEARCH PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP elements, packaging that meets demanding application needs, and robust
3:00PM–5:30PM design for mass production and reliability. A brief history of the science of
126C, Phoenix Convention Center ultrasound and its use for medical purposes will illustrate the diverse
Speaker: George Hazelrigg materials, processes, and engineering skills necessary to design and build
effective transducers. Modern products will be presented to demonstrate
the current state of the art, and engineering challenges that remain to be
solved to further transducer technology will be presented.

Comment: Even though ultrasound transducers are considered to be
electrical devices from a regulatory standpoint, most of the engineering
