Abstract
An ultrasound imaging device includes a substrate, an ultrasound transducer array mounted on the substrate, a pressure sensor mounted on the substrate, and an integrated circuit mounted on the substrate and operatively connected to the ultrasound transducer array and to the pressure sensor. The integrated circuit includes a memory that is programmable to store a transmit-receive sequence and operational codes to optimize a sub-aperture of the ultrasound transducer array to support an ultrasound scanning modality that is selected for the ultrasound imaging device.
