Calculation of pressure fields from arbitrarily shaped, apodized, and excited ultrasound transducers
TLDR
A method for simulation of pulsed pressure fields from arbitrarily shaped, apodized and excited ultrasound transducers is suggested, which relies on the Tupholme-Stepanishen method for calculating pulsing pressure fields and can also handle the continuous wave and pulse-echo case.Abstract:
A method for simulation of pulsed pressure fields from arbitrarily shaped, apodized and excited ultrasound transducers is suggested. It relies on the Tupholme-Stepanishen method for calculating pulsed pressure fields, and can also handle the continuous wave and pulse-echo case. The field is calculated by dividing the surface into small rectangles and then Summing their response. A fast calculation is obtained by using the far-field approximation. Examples of the accuracy of the approach and actual calculation times are given. >read more

A simulation environment for validating ultrasonic blood flow and vessel wall imaging based on fluid-structure interaction simulations: ultrasonic assessment of arterial distension and wall shear rate.
TL;DR: A simulation environment integrating ultrasound and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations is presented, allowing construction of synthetic ultrasound images based on physiologically realistic behavior of an artery, and indicates that strong reflections between tissue transitions can potentially cloud a correct measurement.

Ultrasonic transducer drive
TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrasonic transducer drive (200) includes a signal generator (202) for producing an outgoing signal (204) and a transducers (206) for converting the outgoing signal(204) to outgoing ultrasound (208), and the transducers may also convert at least a portion of ultrasound reflected by an object to an incoming signal.
