Enhancing medical ultrasound imaging through fractional mathematical modeling of ultrasound bubble dynamics

Abstract

The classical mathematical modeling of ultrasound acoustic bubble is so far using to improve the medical imaging quality. A clear and visible medical ultrasound image relies on bubble’s diameter, wavelength and intensity of the scattered sound. A bubble with diameter much smaller than the sound wavelength is regarded as highly efficient source of sound scattering. The dynamical equation for a medical ultrasound bubble is primarily modeled in classical integer-order differential equation. Then a reduction of order technique is used to convert the modeled dynamic equation for the bubble surface into a system of incommensurate fractional-orders. The incommensurate fractional-order values are calculated directly, by using Riemann stability region. On the basis of stability the convergence and accuracy of the numerical scheme is also discussed in detail. It has been found that the system will remain stable and chaotic for the incommensurate values α1<0.737 and α2<2.80, respectively.
