In one example embodiment, an optoelectronic module includes an optical receiver and a post-amplifier. The flexible film is treated via corona-discharge prior to being laminated to the precoat. The system uses a data logger for recording pressure and temperature readings and also reporting corrected and uncorrected responses using one or more equations to shorten the test time by at least 50 percent or to about 5 minutes or less. An articulation control mechanism allows a clinician to move the tip of the ultrasonic transducer into a desired imaging position, e.
