Revolution in medical ultrasound technology - Picture gallery

Dr. Chris Stöckel, Group Leader "MEMS/NEMS Technologies" Fraunhofer ENAS: "Because we can freely design the transducers using microtechnologies on adaptive technology platforms, the costs will fall and it will also be possible to develop CMUTs and PMUTs for smaller quantities, which was previously prevented by the high one-off costs. With the additional benefit of high resolution and small installation space, the technology will also be of interest to SMEs, for example in the field of medical technology and industry."
