Zusammenfassung:Various methods and systems are provided for a transducer for a deployable catheter. In one example, a method for forming the transducer includes coupling an acoustic stack to a shape memory material while in a planar configuration to form a transducer and exposing the shape memory material to a curling stimulus to adjust the transducer to a curved configuration. 本发明提供了用于可部署导管的换能器的各种方法和系统。在一个示例中,用于形成换能器的方法包括:在处于平面构型时,将声学叠堆耦接到形状记忆材料,以形成换能器;以及使形状记忆材料暴露于卷曲刺激,以将换能器调节到弯曲构型。
