A Numerical Calculation and Simulation Method of the Acoustic Field of Micro Linear Focused Ultrasound Transducer Used to Eliminate Superficial Tissue Lesions

Objective：This article proposes a numerical calculation and simulation method of the acoustic field of micro linear focused ultrasound transducer used to eliminate superficial tissue lesions.This method obtains the three-dimensional distribution of the sound field by calculating,and studies the each parameter＇s effect on the sound field of the cylindrical self-focusing transducer to guide the design of micro-self-focusing transducer.Methods：This article established the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates,obtained sound intensity expression of each point in the focal region by using Rayleigh integral method.Then we carried out numerical calculation and simulation of the sound field of the cylinder focused ultrasound transducer using C language and matlab numerical integration,thus obtained the three-dimension distribution of the sound field.Results：The three-dimensional sound field distribution shows：in accordance with the given condition,micro-line focused ultrasound transducer shows good focus performance and forms distinct focal region.Compared to ordinary cylindrical ultrasonic transducer,the small ones show a more uniform distribution in the z axis of the sound,and decay faster in x,y direction.Conclusions：We can see from the effects on the distribution of the three-dimensional sound field of different parameters：the thickness,radius,opening angle and length of the micro line-focused ultrasound transducer have a significant effect on the focusing effect.Compared with the given conditions,Thicker and larger radius and opening angle can improve the focus performance,while the length of the transducer shows little effect on the focus perfoemance.
