Nebulizer Board Survery and Ultrasound Medical Imaging Technique
Nebulizer Board Feature Survey: Let APC know how we can improve our nebulizer products!
APC is planning a redesign of its nebulizer board product line and we’re seeking input from our customers on the improvements they would like to see. If you have ever used APC’s nebulizer boards or have interest in using APC’s nebulizer boards please help us to improve our products by taking this brief survey.
APC’s current nebulizer boards are designed to mount on the bottom of a plastic tank and are powered by 48 Vrms. APC’s nebulizer boards are designed to atomize water based fluids. Typical applications include:
– Ultrasonic humidification
– Atomizing water based fluids
– Ultrasonic mixing
– Ultrasonic water treatment
How it works: Ultrasonic Medical Imaging
Common and popular medical technique used in the medical field for many years.
Ultrasound is the imaging technique widely used in medical applications. The technique utilizes high frequency sound waves or pulses that are sent out from a transducer probe and then reflected back to the transducer probe after bouncing off of tissue, bones, or organs.
Ultrasound machines operate similar to most piezo transducers that use the time-of-flight principle to measure distances:
1.High-frequency sound waves (between 1 – 5 MHz) are transmitted from the transducer probe into the body.
2.The sound waves travel through the body until they come in contact with soft tissue, bones, or organs.
3.The sound waves are reflected off of the soft tissue, bones, or organs back to the transducer probe probe.
4.The ultrasonic transducer probe detects the reflected sound waves and is able to calculate the shape, size, and consistency the tissue, bones, or organs using the time of flight principle. This information is displayed on the ultrasound machine in the form of an image.
This medical imaging technique is possible thanks to the piezoelectric effect and the inverse piezoelectric effect. Inside the probe are a number of piezoelectric ceramics. When an electric current is applied to the piezoelectric ceramics they change shape and create sound waves. When the sound waves are reflected off an organ, tissue, or bone back to the piezoelectric ceramics an electric current is generated that can be measured by the ultrasound machine’s computer. APC’s sensing materials are frequently used in ultrasonic medical applications.
