For the high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) phased array frequency distribution pattern size and amount of the elements may affect the performance and cost of the HIFU device. In this paper an inner holed spherical shell with 96 transducer elements was designed basing on the Ebbini pseudo-inverse matrix and Penns bioheat equation. The phased array has a lower grating-lobe level and a higher intensity gain suitable for deep heating. The experiments with the array usung 16 elements show that the phased array design produces a large dynamic scan scale with least elements and a high heat focus.
The dual-phase lag equation is formulated for the case when the thermophysical parameters occurring in this equation are temperature-dependent. The axial-symmetrical domain of biological tissue heated by an external heat source is considered. The problem is solved using the implicit scheme of the finite difference method. At the stage of numerical computations, the analytical relationships taken from the literature describing changes in parameters are taken into account.
In the paper the numerical analysis of thermal processes proceeding in the 2D homogeneous biological tissue subjected to laser irradiation is presented. In particular, the influence of necrotic changes in tissue on the values of the perfusion coefficient and effective scattering coefficient are discussed. The transient heat transfer is described by the bioheat transfer equation in the Pennes formulation. As a model of light distribution in tissue, the first-order scattering approach has been used. At the stage of numerical realization the 1st scheme of the boundary element method has been applied.
