This thesis describes the design and fabrication of ultrasound
probes for pedicle screw guidance. The author details the
fabrication of a 2MHz radial array for a pedicle screw insertion
eliminating the need for manual rotation of the transducer. He
includes radial images obtained from successive groupings of
array elements in various fluids. He also examines the manner in
which it can affect ultrasound propagation.
