An ultrasound transducer assembly of the present invention includes a flexible circuit to which an ultrasound transducer array (8) and integrated circuitry (6) are attached during fabrication of the ultrasound transducer assembly. The flexible circuit comprises a flexible substrate (2) to which the integrated circuitry and transducer elements are attached while the flexible substrate is in a substantially flat shape. The flexible circuit further comprises electrically conductive lines that are deposited upon the flexible substrate. The electrically conductive lines transport electrical signals between the integrated circuitry and the transducer elements. After assembly, the flexible circuit is re-shapable into a final form such as, for example, a substantially cylindrical shape.
L'invention concerne un ensemble transducteur à ultra-sons doté d'un circuit souple sur lequel est fixé un réseau transducteur à ultra-sons (8) et des circuits intégrés (6) pendant la fabrication. Le circuit souple comprend un substrat souple (2) auquel sont fixés les circuits intégrés et les éléments du réseau transducteur, le substrat souple ayant une forme sensiblement plate. En outre, le circuit souple comprend des lignes conductrices déposées sur le substrat souple. Ces lignes électroconductrices acheminent les signaux électriques entre les circuits intégrés et les éléments du réseau transducteur. Une fois assemblé, le circuit souple est remodelable sous une autre forme, définitive, par exemple sensiblement cylindrique.
