THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT ‘MUSVAT’ IS THE REALIZATION OF A DEVICE THAT, THROUGH THE DOPPLER EFFECT, IS USEFUL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE BLOOD FLOW FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF POSSIBLE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES. TO JOIN THIS DEVICE IT WAS THOUGHT TO CREATE A BAND APPLICABLE ON THE BODY OF THE PATIENT ABLE TO BE PLACED BETWEEN THE SKIN AND THE PROBE ALLOWING TO CARY OUT THE MOVEMENT NECESSARY FOR THE ECODOPPLER ANALYSIS.
THE DESIGNED PROBE IS ABLE TO CARRY OUT VARIOUS ECODOPPLER EXAMINATIONS, THANKS TO THE PARTICULARITY OF THE POSITIONING OF THE PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTALS INSERTED IN THE DEVICE. THE PROBE IS DIVIDED INTO THREE MAIN PARTS, EACH OF WHICH CONTAINS DIFFERENT COMPONENTS WITH SPECIFIC FEATURES THAT ALLOW THE DEVICE TO FUNCTION. THESE PARTS ARE: A THIMBLE, A MAGNET AND A CASE CONTAINING THE PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTAL. THE CASE IS INTERCHANGEABLE ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC NEEDS, THUS MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO CARRY OUT THE NECESSARY ECODOPPLER EXAMINATIONS. THE THIMBLE IS CYLINDRICAL AND INTERNALLY IS MADE OF SPONGE, WHILE EXTERNALLY IT IS MADE OF FERROMAGNETIC MATERIAL. IT HAS THE TASK OF INSERTING ITSELF INTO THE CASE AND LOCKING ITSELF INSIDE. THE MAGNET IS MADE OF FERROMAGNET AND HAS A TORUS-LIKE SHAPE.

THE PROBE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PART: THE OUTER CASE AND THE INNER ‘SHELL’. THE EXTERNAL CASE IS MADE OF FERROMAGNETICA MATERIAL AND HAS THE TASK OF ROTATING AND MOVING THE ‘SHELL’. INSIDE THERE ARE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FOR CRYSTAK FEEDING (3), SPIRAL COILS FOR WIRELESS CHARGING (2), A BATTERY (4) AND A SMALL WIFI SYSTEM (1). THE INTERNAL ‘SHELL’ ROTATES ABOUT 30 DEGREES IN ALL DIRECTIONS, THUS ALLOWING AN ACCURATE ULTRASOUND ANALYSIS. THE BAND IS INSTEAD CREATED WITH A SOFT SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL NAMED ASPEN THAT CAN ADHERE TO THE SKIN AND WITH TEAR-OFF CLOSURES.
