Comparison between a new ultrasound probe with a capacitive micromachined transducer (CMUT) and a traditional one in musculoskeletal pathology

Background The capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer (CMUT) is a new ultrasound (US) probe manufactured by state-of-the-art cutting-edge semi-conductor micromachined electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Purpose To demonstrate the peculiar characteristics of each probe and the limitations that should be improved. Material and Methods This study was performed from March to April 2018. The only inclusion criterion was the presence...
