Abstract

Techniques are presented for efficient and accurate computation of three-dimensional, continuous-wave radiated fields from ultrasound transducers of canonical geometries. Fields of flat circular pistons are computed using exact series expressions based on orthogonal function expansions of the Rayleigh integral. Fields of concave circular pistons are computed using analogous series expansions for an integral of effective source contributions over the radiating surface; this approach accurately approximates radiated fields of many focused ultrasound transducers of interest. Fields of flat and focused rectangular transducers are computed using closed-form expressions based on a modified Fresnel approximation; accurate fields are obtained at distances large compared to the radiating aperture dimensions, so that the near field for large transducers can be accurately simulated by subdividing the radiating aperture. Efficient methods for field computation facilitate design optimization for therapy and imaging de...
