New Ultrasound Technology

I am glad that people here in Texas are working with others in Israel to develop new was of making a piezo-electric crystal.  This novel way of making a new transducer is not really novel.  I have been following this technology for years.  Cheers for the Texans and the Jews!  Let's hope it will increase diagnostic accuracy and through-put.  Here is the article.  Great stuff y'all.

Improved Ultrasound Imaging Coming Soon

Mar. 5, 2013 — Ultrasound technology could soon experience a significant upgrade that would enable it to produce high-quality, high-resolution images, thanks to the development of a new key material by a team of researchers that includes a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University.
