What is the effect of an increased aperture in a linear array transducer?
The aperture of a transducer is the active area that emits and receives the ultrasound waves. In a linear array transducer, increasing the aperture (using more elements for transmission and reception) results in a deeper focus because the beam is more tightly focused over a longer distance. This improves lateral resolution at greater depths, as the ultrasound beam maintains a narrower width for a longer distance. It allows for better imaging of deeper structures without sacrificing resolution.
