Simulation-Based Approach to Detecting Pulmonary Embolism Using Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers

A severe cardiovascular condition known as pulmonary embolism is commonly underdiagnosed because of deficiencies in the diagnostic techniques available today. This study hypothesizes a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) as a non-invasive diagnostic tool capable of identifying changes in ultrasonic wave penetration results by emboli. A CMUT is proposed for this application. Preliminary findings point to considerable promise for enhancing the accuracy of diagnoses as well as the care and results of patients. This study aims to provide a novel approach to pulmonary embolism detection. In compliance with the Malaysian MySTIE framework, this study advances Sustainable Development Goal 3: Well-being and Good Health.
