A flat focused ultrasound array of 13 cm in diameter with 4096 elements was manufactured in house with center-to-center element spacing of half-wavelength at the centre frequency of approximately 500 kHz. The design allows for a much wider steering range. Feasibility for thermal ablation and hyperthermia over large target volumes was demonstrated in animal studies.
