Total Focusing Method


The Future: Total Focusing Method (TFM)

TFM is the next evolution in advanced ultrasonic methods. This method


uses PAUT probes and instead of firing them in a sequence to focus at one
certain depth, it pulses one element at a time and then receives with all the
elements within the PAUT probe. Then the element that was pulsed is
programmed to know what all the other elements received and
reconstructs the A-scan input. This process is repeated with all the
elements in the PAUT probe. What this creates is a matrix effect that not
only focuses at one depth, but focuses at 65,536 (256x256) points in the
area of interest.
