The paper presents the model of calculating ultrasound waveform beam emitted inside the circular space of ultrasonic transducer ring array and propagated through a biological medium submerged in water. Each elementary transducer emits a burst signal, which then propagates through a medium and is received by a number of transducers on the opposite side of the ring array. The method allows for calculating runtime and amplitude of ultrasonic bursts while traveling from an emitter to a receiver through a specified soft tissue section geometry, having regard to the refraction and attenuation effects and directivity pattern of transducers. The soft tissue section geometry is constructed using circular shapes with given ultrasound speed and attenuation distribution. The elaborated software creates a set of received waveforms for each transmitting transducer. The presented results produced by the software can be used as a basis for further research on inverse problems in ultrasound waveform tomography.
