==Original Abstract Submitted==

Various methods and systems are provided for an electro-acoustic module for a transducer probe. In one example, the electro-acoustic module may include an acoustic stack and at least one application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) electrically coupled to the acoustic stack by an interconnect having a fan-out architecture. The electro-acoustic module may have an active aperture substantially equal to an overall size of the electro-acoustic module in at least one or an azimuth and an elevation direction.
