Abstract
Our research utilizes capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) for advanced photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) imaging in mice, focusing on visual-evoked hemodynamic responses. CMUTs exhibit superior sensitivity and wider bandwidth than traditional PZT arrays, enabling improved spatial resolution and image quality. Preliminary tests of a 1-D CMUT array demonstrated its potential in capturing hemodynamic responses in the primary visual cortex (V1) and superior colliculus (SC) during retinal photostimulation. With its impressive performance and miniaturization potential, CMUTs show promise for future applications in studying visual responses in transgenic mice and disease models without the need for anesthesia or restraint.
