Methods :To efficiently detect the higher harmonic components in echo signals, in addition to the transmitting transducer, another transducer only for broadband reception is necessary. We constructed a receiving transducer by bonding a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) high-polymer piezofilm to the radiation surface of the transmitting lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducer. By building this PZTPVDF bi-layered ultrasonic probe into a mechanical sector scanner of an ultrasonic diagnosis system, an ultra-broadband ultrasonic imaging system capable of real-time imaging was prototyped. Results : Using images of phantoms in water acquired using the prototype system, the acquisition of higher harmonic images with less noise up to the fourth order was demonstrated. In addition, we confirmed that the logarithmic summation of harmonic components from the fundamental to the fourth harmonic effectively reduces speckle noise in the images. Conclusions : By obtaining an echo signal from phantoms using a PZT-PVDF bi-layered ultrasonic mechanical sector probe, real-time imaging was carried out, and the effectiveness of its higher harmonic components from the fundamental to the fourth harmonic was confirmed with respect to speckle reduction.
