A scanning apparatus comprising:
- a receiver circuit and a transmitter circuit, both circuits being flexible such that they are capable of conforming to the surface contours of an object as a surface of the apparatus is pressed against it;
- and
- an adaptive backing positioned behind the transmitter and receiver circuits in the scanning apparatus and configured to, as the scanning apparatus is pressed against the object, conform to the flexible circuits.
A method of scanning an object using a scanning apparatus, the scanning apparatus comprising a receiver circuit and a transmitter circuit, both circuits being flexible;
- and an adaptive backing positioned behind the transmitter and receiver circuits in the scanning apparatus, the method comprising:
- pressing a surface of the scanning apparatus against the object such that the receiver circuit and the transmitter circuit conform to surface contours of the object;
- and such that the adaptive backing conforms to the flexible circuits as the scanning apparatus is pressed against the object.
