Performance of an Ultrasonic Imaging System Based on a 45-MHz Linear PVDF Transducer Array: A Numerical Study

Figure 12

The acoustic pressure, generated from only one active transducer element, in human skin containing a object is shown at four different times. Due to symmetries in the lateral direction, going through the center electrode ( = 0), only the lower half of the transducer system in Figure 1 is shown.
