Iqela labaphandi abavela kwi IYunivesithi yeNanyang Technological (Singapho) baphumelele ekuphuhliseni uhlobo olutsha lwe-dIsixhobo esishicilelweyo se3D Ingathatha ithuba loxinzelelo oluphezulu lwe-ultrasound ukuhamba, ukulawula, kunye nokutshabalalisa izinto ezinobungakanani bamasuntswana, amathontsi, kunye nezicubu zebhayoloji ezikalini ezinokuthelekiswa neeseli. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo isixhobo esinokuba luncedo kakhulu kumacandelo afana notyando enkosi kwinto yokuba inokubonelela ngolawulo olungazange lubekho kumaza e-photoacoustic.
Njengoko kuxoxiwe kwiphepha elipapashwe leli qela labaphandi, ulawulo kule ndawo lubalulekile izixhobo zangaphambili bezinokuvelisa kuphela iintlobo ezisisiseko zamaza e-acoustic athi, ngokusebenzisa umaleko omncinci wekhabhon nanotubes efakwe kumphezulu weglasi, avelise ukungcangcazela okuyimfuneko ukuvelisa amaza aphakamileyo kunye noxinzelelo oluphezulu lwamaza e-acoustic. Ngelishwa kwaye ngenxa yokuba le nto isetyenzisiweyo isekwe kwiglasi, kule projekthi intsha kufezekisiwe ukuba le nto iba yilensi ecacileyo yelinen. Ekwenziweni kwayo, kwakufuneka kusetyenziswe umshicileli we-3D osemgangathweni.
Iqela labaphandi liyakwazi ukuphuhlisa isixhobo esitsha esikwaziyo ukuhambisa kunye nokuqhelanisa ne-ultrasound.
Ndiyabulela ngokuchanekileyo ekusebenziseni umshicileli we-3D, izazinzulu zazikhululekile ukwenza iilensi zayo nayiphi na imilo, ngaloo ndlela zivumela ukuba zivelise amaza e-acoustic yayo nayiphi na imilo. Ndiyabulela kule nto, abaphandi ngoku banokujolisa amaza kwiindawo ezininzi ngaxeshanye, okanye banokulawula isigaba samaza kwaye bawaqondise kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo. Njengoko kubhengeziwe, esi sixhobo sitsha siza kunceda abagqirha bamehlo ukuba yenza uqhaqho lwamehlo ukusukela ngoku amaza e-acoustic anokusetyenziselwa ukulinganisa iipropathi ze-elastic zeseli kwisitya sePetri, ukubona indlela abaphendula ngayo kwimikhosi.
