Popis: Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (cMUT) technology has steadily advanced since its advent in the mid-1990’s. Though cMUTs have not supplanted piezoelectric transducers for medical ultrasound imaging to date, researchers and engineers are continuing to improve cMUTs and leverage unique cMUT characteristics toward new applications. While not intended to be an exhaustive review of every aspect of cMUT state-of-the-art, this article provides a brief overview of cMUT benefits, challenges, and opportunities, as well as recent progress in cMUT research and translation.
