Flexible transparent CMUT arrays for photoacoustic tomography
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of the first flexible transparent capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer (CMUT) array for through-illumination photoacoustic tomography. Fabricated based on an adhesive wafer bonding technique and a PDMS backfill approach, the array has a maximum transparency of 67% in visible light range and can be bent to a radius of curvature of less than 5 mm without the structural layers being damaged. With a center frequency of 3.5 MHz, 80% fractional bandwidth, and noise equivalent pressure (NEP) of 62 mPa/ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:msqrt> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi mathvariant="normal">H</mml:mi> <mml:mi mathvariant="normal">z</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msqrt> </mml:math> , the array was successfully used in limited-view photoacoustic tomography of a 100 µ m wire target, demonstrating lateral and axial resolutions of 293 µ m and 382 µ m, respectively, with 46 dB signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, deep tissue photoacoustic tomography was also demonstrated on a blood tube within a chicken tissue using the fabricated CMUT arrays.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
