    • A system and method for coupling acoustic energy within a waveguide provides highly efficient and sensitive acoustic energy generation and detection. In particular, an ultrasound angioplasty system is described which makes use of an end-fire array of ring transducers to produce highly directionalized sound within an acoustic waveguide. The transducers can be made circularly symmetric, and may be composed of multiple segments for generating sound waves in independent x and y spatial modes within the acoustic waveguide. Each ring transducer is optimally spaced 1/2.lambda..sub.L from its neighbor transducers, such that alternate transducers transduce 180-degrees out of phase, and may have their electrical end inverted for common drive, or for summing of transducer electrical outputs when the array is used as a detector. The phased array may also be used in a resonant acoustic energy system used to detect pressure variations or reflections from a substance, for example, for detecting the progress of chemical reactions, liquid level sensing, etc., imaging, or in various other ultrasound applications.

    • This invention is a magnetostriction transducer and an intraoperative probe for acoustic imaging. The magnetostriction transducer has a coil and a magnetostriction element deposited on a portion of the acoustic waveguide that is inserted inside the coil. The magnetic field of the coil threads into the magnetostriction element and, due to the alternating magnetic field, the magnetostriction element changes its length at a rate equal to the frequency of the magnetic field. These length changes excite, among others, longitudinal waves in the core of the acoustic waveguide. The intraoperative probe has an array of acoustic waveguides bonded together. Each acoustic waveguide in the intraoperative probe has a transducer, such as a magnetostriction transducer of a piezoelectric transducer, that couples acoustic signals into the acoustic waveguides. The intraoperative probe can image the body without the extra hardware needed to rotate an acoustic waveguide by stepping an acoustic beam across the aperture of the intraoperative probe. This invention has the advantage of imaging internal organs without exposing them to danger of leakage currents.

    • An intracavity ultrasound diagnostic probe has a fiber acoustic waveguide that guides acoustic signals generated by a piezoelectric transducer located outside the body, through a body cavity and to an imaging site within the body where they reflect back into the ultrasound diagnostic probe that guides them back to the piezoelectric transducer located at the proximal end of the waveguide. The intracavity ultrasound diagnostic probe has one or more acoustic waveguides that could be optical fibers. The numerous advantages of placing the piezoelectric transducer outside the body include: electric power does not enter the body; a reusable piezoelectric transducer; the ability to use several acoustic signals at once including a mixture of doppler and imaging acoustic signals; the ability to adjust the frequency of each acoustic signal independently of the other acoustic signals to obtain the most desirable focus and resolution for a particular imaging site; and lower cost of complying with sterility regulations since they require discarding only the inexpensive fiber acoustic waveguide and the inexpensive catheter-radome.

    • A direct contact scanner uses a fiber acoustic waveguide to convey ultrasound from an ultrasound transducer to a direct contact area. The waveguide extends from a main body of the scanner into an oblong nose, and terminates in a deflector. To minimize thickness of the nose, the waveguide and deflector are rotated about an ultrasound transmission axis of the waveguide, enabling the scanner to be used in a variety of situations where quarters are cramped. A coupling fluid conveys ultrasound between the deflector and a radome, which directly contacts the object to be scanned. Using the waveguide, an ultrasound transducer and supporting electronics may be distanced from the direct contact area and separated from the fluid, thereby insulating the fluid from possible electronic leakage currents and heat.
