Taking advantage of recent advances in printed
electronics, we created a flexible receive coil that is
nearly transparent to High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
(HIFU) energy. We fabricated the coil from solution
using screen-printing, a high volume manufacturing
technique. We discuss the performance of the coil and
compare the printed components to traditional components
with various imaging and acoustic power attenuation
testing. We also demonstrate major steps toward clinical
usability with the first phantom images - showing
promise for use in MR guided HIFU therapy.
