Humanscan has been researching and developing the use of single crystal in ultrasound probes. Although, in the 1980s, a numerous academic papers stated that the usage of single crystal in medical ultrasound probe yielded superior result-s, difficulties in manufacturing hindered its commercialization. In November of 2001, Humanscan successfully demonstr-ated the world¡¯s first PMN-PT single crystal cardiac probe for mass production and commercialization at the medical equi-pment exhibition, MEDICA. Thereafter, Humanscan introduced single crystal probes ranging from 2MHz to 8MHz at the int-ernational conferences and exhibitions 1-3). Since then, Humanscan has led the developmental history of single crystal
probes. Through these outstanding achievements, Humanscan has differentiated its probes from that of pre-existing
state-of-the-art ultrasound probes.
