Ultrasound Intensity Exposimetry in Physiotherapy Devices using Micro-Bubbles, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Zahedi, Edmond (Supervisor)
Abstract
Routine ultrasound calibration methods have some restrictions such as: low bandwidth, low frequency resolution, limited spatial resolution, the high cost of test and risk of damage to the transducer when exposed to high powers. In this thesis, a new technique based on microbubble resonance is proposed. Non-linear resonating microbubbles produce harmonics;the first harmonic may be masked by reflection from larger microbubbles as well as unwanted reflections which cause ambiguity in the determination of the amplitude of the excited pressure. Therefore, the second harmonic is used, with a single characteristic peak. In order to model the physical phenomenon, the second harmonic generated in the...
