Ultrasim - a toolbox for ultrasound field simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Ultrasim is an interactive, menu-oriented simulator for finding the sound field from transducers. It is a tool for design of transducer arrays and transducer geometry, and will increase the user’s understanding of acoustic wave propagation. The simulator has primarily been developed for medical ultrasound, but has also been used for sonar analysis and non-destructive testing. The simulator has been developed over the last ten years and it is implemented as a freeware toolbox in MATLAB.

متن کاملNumerical Study for Optimizing Parameters of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound-Induced Thermal Field during Liver Tumor Ablation: HIFU Simulator
Introduction High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is considered a noninvasive and effective technique for tumor ablation. Frequency and acoustic power are the most effective parameters for temperature distribution and the extent of tissue damage. The aim of this study was to optimize the operating transducer parameters such as frequency and input power in order to acquire suitable temperatu...
متن کاملExperimental Validation of Computational Models for Large-Scale Nonlinear Ultrasound Simulations in Heterogeneous, Absorbing Fluid Media
To increase the effectiveness of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments, prediction of ultrasound propagation in biological tissues is essential, particularly where bones are present in the field. This requires complex full-wave computational models which account for nonlinearity, absorption, and heterogeneity. These models must be properly validated but there is a lack of analytic...
