Model of multipath propagation of ultrasonic pulses in soft tissue using divergent beam tomography method

Vol. 30, nr 1

art. no. 2019130

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.

Model of multipath propagation of ultrasonic pulses generated in soft tissue by linear arrays

Arrays of ultrasonic transducers used in medical diagnosis for safe and non-invasive visualization of the inside of a human body usually consist of many elementary piezoceramic transducers. In such an electromechanical construction of the array, while activating individual transducers, creation of crosstalk can be observed in the form of propagation of electric voltage and mechanical vibration on neighboring elements, which leads to distortion of the generated acoustical field, and in consequence reduces the quality of reconstructed medical images. Complexity of the problem rises rapidly in the case of arrays forming ultrasonic beams. In this paper, authors developed a numerical amplitude-phase model of multipath propagation of ultrasonic pulses generated in a soft tissue-like medium by such arrays. The model allowed simulation of acoustic field distributions, and to examine the influence of beam focusing in transmission mode on these distributions, taking into account electrical and mechanical crosstalk.
