Abstract
Methods of measuring the sound field and focal region of a 1.05 MHz high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) are described in this paper. 1.05 MHz pulsed HIFU with intensity 2400 W/cm 2 with a 1:1 duty cycle (“on” phase equaled “off” phase) was used to irradiate terephthalic acid (TA). Pulse periods of 0.5 ms, 1 ms, 3.3 ms, 10 ms, 15 ms, 33 ms, 0.1 s and 1 s were used. The irradiation time was 2 min. To indicate the intensity of inertial cavitation activity, the fluorescence intensity of hydroxyterephthalic acid (HTA) was measured. The result shows that the cavitation activity of pulsed HIFU peaks at a pulse period of 10 ms, cavitation activity is significantly greater for pulse periods from 2 to 20 ms than for others.
