What is 3504 about?
## Objectives: The study was to compare imaging performances obtained with a matrix and a linear high-frequency transmission transducers in the evaluation of tendons, using a commercial phantom as well as to evaluate potential benefits of harmonic imaging and spatial compound mode. Methods: Using a high-end US system (Aplio, Toshiba), a comparative study between a linear (5-12 MHz) (LT) and a matrix transducer (7-14 MHz) (MT) was performed in an experimental study based on the RMI 403 GS (Gammex, WI). Phantom gel was figuring soft tissues, and nylon filaments superficial tendons. Results: For LT and MT, maximum penetration depth was, respectively, 100 mm and 55 mm; best axial resolution was 0.2 mm and 0.1 mm, and highest lateral resolution 0.4 mm and 0.3 mm, respectively; lowest slice thickness was 0.6 mm and 0.9 mm at 10.7 mm depth. Anisotropy effect appeared for a beam angle of 8°for both transducers. Harmonic mode slightly decreased depth penetration, significantly improved axial resolution and reduced slice thickness for LT only (p Ͻ 0.5). Spatial compound only improved lateral resolution for LT. Conclusions: Using a test object, both LT and MT have a high level of performance
