Enhancing ultrasound imaging: Researchers develop detachable acoustic lens for precise focus adjustment

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed a detachable acoustic lens that allows for easy adjustment of the focal length in ultrasonic inspection equipment. Much like swapping lenses on a DSLR camera to improve image quality, this technology enables users to optimize the resolution of ultrasonic imaging systems for specific inspection tasks. The innovation is expected to significantly enhance accuracy in both medical diagnostics and industrial safety inspections.
