摘要:
Disclosed is an ultrasound array comprising a plurality of ultrasound transducer elements (20) on a carrier (10) said carrier further carrying an actuator arrangement (30 30 ) of a material having an adjustable shape in response to an electromagnetic stimulus e.g. an electro activepolymer or optically responsive polymer wherein the material is arranged to change the orientation of said ultrasound transducer elements in response to said stimulus. This facilitates configurable beam shaping and/or body contour matching with the ultrasound array. An ultrasound system (100) comprising such an ultrasound array is also disclosed.
