Advances in Crosstalk Reduction Techniques for Ultrasonic Transducer Arrays.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Crosstalk between elements in ultrasonic transducer arrays significantly degrades image quality in medical ultrasound systems by introducing noise and reducing spatial resolution. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the origins of crosstalk-acoustic, mechanical, and electrical-and the main characterization methods used to analyze it, including direct measurements, impedance analysis, finite element modeling, and equivalent circuit approaches. Emphasis is placed on recent advances in passive and active mitigation strategies, such as material coatings, structural decoupling, phononic crystals, adaptive filtering, and impedance matching. A key finding is that the optimal crosstalk reduction method depends strongly on the transducer technology employed-whether CMUT, PMUT, or bulk PZT. The review highlights the importance of tailoring mitigation techniques to the physical properties and operating conditions of each technology. By synthesizing current knowledge and identifying remaining challenges-particularly the role of filler material losses-this work offers a solid foundation for the development of next-generation ultrasound arrays with enhanced imaging performance.
