ABSTRACT:
An implantable medical device is adapted for implantation into body tissue. The implantable medical device comprises a housing and a header coupled to the housing. A cavity is located in the header. An ultrasonic transducer adapted to transmit acoustic waves at a communication frequency is located in the cavity, and a coupling surface is interposed between the ultrasonic transducer and the body tissue and is acoustically coupled with the body tissue.
