Phase estimation for a phased array therapeutic interstitial ultrasound probe

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2012:2012:472-5. doi: 10.1109/EMBC.2012.6345970.

Abstract

This paper deals about high intensity ultrasound interstitial therapy simulation. The simulated phased array ultrasound probe allows a dynamic electronic focusing of the therapeutic beam. In order to maximize the power deposit at the focal point we propose a method which allows to optimally defining the phase shift of the electrical control signal for each individual element.
