Abstract: | Multipoint foci have been synthesized by applying the pseudoinverse field conjugation method to a single ultrasonic transducer coupled to a polystyrene lens. The lens design is based on phased array calculations are then fabricated on a computer-controlled milling machine. The measured beam patterns from the lenses agree closely with the beam patterns predicted by theory for the equivalent phased arrays. Temperature distributions from thermal modeling and those measured in tissue equivalent phantoms show that the lens system is capable of generating strongly localized, controlled temperature fields for hyperthermia. |
