4G CMUT
Hitachi was the first company to put the MATRIX CMUT (Capacitive Micro machined Ultrasound Transducer) into practical use, using the next generation silicon wafer technology.
By applying a matrix arrangement of CMUT cells, and thanks to the Ideal acoustic matching to the human body, 4G CMUT is able to achieve a narrow beam slice thickness. Moreover, multiple elevational focal zones in the CMUT cells allow to optimize the beam width and sound depth so that a high spatial resolution can be achieved.


4G CMUT offers a one-probe solution for whole body imaging, using Hitachi’s advanced technologies to further enhance confident diagnoses.
