Imaging was performed on pre- and post-pump head/oxygenator sections of the circuit using a Philips iE33 scanner and S5-1 transducer.
With the combination of the HDS®-5 Gen 2, StructureScan® HD scanner, and B60-12° B60-12°cer, we could detransducerts at a depth of less than about 150 m weth a 200 kHz acouldic source, but we obtainedetectkHz high-resobjects imates only at depths of less than about 80 m.
It was a specially designed scanner comprising eight transducers immersed at the base of a large water tank.
Ultrasonic radio-frequency (RF) data was collected using a clinically available ultrasound scanner (6-MHz linear transducer).
A 7.5 MHz real-time linear transducer (Hitachi Ultrasound scanner EUB 8500) was used to examine the veins.
Images were acquired using a Hewlett- Packard Sonos 5500 (Andover, Mass, U.S.A) scanner and a 3 MHz transducer.
Images were acquired using an EnVisor Philips HD 11XE (Philips Medical System, Andover, MA, USA) scanner and a 3 MHz transducer.
The CMIT will be assessed using a 12 MHz linear array transducer and ultrasound scanner (Vivid i, GE Healthcare, USA).
Cardiac images were acquired using a Vevo 2100 high-resolution ultrasound scanner with 18 38 MHz linear transducer (VisualSonics Inc .. Echocardiography was performed as previously described [ 26].
As previously described, transthoracic myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) was performed using an iE33 ultrasound scanner equipped with a S5 – 1 transducer (Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands) [ 18].
RF noise was introduced into the MR scanner by the US imaging transducer when used without any shielding, as demonstrated in Figures 5 and 6.
