The paper presents the physical base of the numerical system for analysis and modelling acoustic fields generated by an acoustic head of arbitrary construction. The elaborated system allows to analyse the sending-receiving multielements ultrasound heads. In the paper modeling of the acoustic system as the linear one was proposed. Numerical model, its implementation and preliminary results was presented.
Realism of a Virtual Reality simulation can be improved by use of physical objects tracked in real time. The paper presents possibility of using low-cost FDM process, realized by MakerBot Replicator 2X machine, in comparison with a professional one to build tooling for a simulation of ultrasound examination procedure. The objects were manufactured on two different machines out of ABS material, 3D scanned for accuracy testing and finally possibilities of their use in a VR system were evaluated.
