This thesis describes

the design and fabrication of ultrasound probes for pedicle screw guidance. The

author details the fabrication of a 2MHz radial array for a pedicle screw insertion

eliminating

the need for manual rotation of the transducer. He includes radial images obtained

from successive groupings of array elements in various fluids. He also examines the manner in which it can

affect ultrasound propagation.
