聚焦区域高声强声场分布的测量方法研究

常用的声场分布测量是采用水听器扫描声场的方法,该方法对于声能量密度较大的声场难以测量,因为在这种情况下声振幅比较大,水听器在这种声场中呈现非线性或遭到破坏。设计了一种用辐射压力测量高声强声场分布的方法,该方法利用一根微细管,直接测量声场的冲流压力,通过对声场进行扫描测量可以得到高声强声场压力分布。从理论上分析了这种测量方法的可行性,对测量基本要求及实验装置做了阐述。实验结果证实:该方法可以用来测量高声能密度声场压力分布;测量结果与水听器测量结果基本吻合;测量方法存在测量盲区。

Near-field imaging of pyramid-like nanoparticles at a surface

An exact analytical solution of the self-consistent equation for the local field is used to calculate the near-field optical images of pyramid-like nano-objects placed at a surface of a solid. The diagram method developed previously for near-field image formation is generalized in order to describe layered objects, which are treated as many-body systems. The near-field optical images of triangular and square pyramids are calculated for the illumination configuration as well as those of triangular and square prisms. It is found that the near-field images of nanoparticles having the dielectric constant close to that of the substrate change rapidly and in a complicated manner with the probe–sample distance.     

Programmable aperture microscopy: A computational method for multi-modal phase contrast and light field imaging

We demonstrate a simple and cost-effective programmable aperture microscope to realize multi-modal computational imaging by integrating a programmable liquid crystal display (LCD) into a conventional wide-field microscope. The LCD selectively modulates the light distribution at the rear aperture of the microscope objective, allowing numerous imaging modalities, such as bright field, dark field, differential phase contrast, quantitative phase imaging, multi-perspective imaging, and full resolution light field imaging to be achieved and switched rapidly in the same setup, without requiring specialized hardwares and any moving parts. We experimentally demonstrate the success of our method by imaging unstained cheek cells, profiling microlens array, and changing perspective views of thick biological specimens. The post-exposure refocusing of a butterfly mouthpart and RFP-labeled dicot stem cross-section is also presented to demonstrate the full resolution light field imaging capability of our system for both translucent and fluorescent specimens.     

Numerical and experimental study of Near-Field Acoustic Radiation Modes of a baffled spherical cap

In this paper, the Acoustic Radiation Modes (ARMs) of spherical structures are studied using the Pressure-Velocity (PV) method. This method yields the active and reactive modes, which refer to the radiated and non-radiated sound power components respectively, without restrictions on the observation distance. The accuracy of the method is verified through the analysis of Near Field ARMs (NFARMs) of a sphere in spherical coordinates compared to the analytical solution. Differences are analyzed between the NFARMs and the Far Field ARMs (FFARMs) of a baffled spherical cap, as well as between the active and reactive parts of the sound power radiated when varying the frequency and the observation distance to the source. It was found that the radiation efficiency of the active ARMs is independent of the observation distance, while that of reactive ARMs decreases sharply when retreating from the source. Experiments were performed using the acoustic reciprocity principle to measure the NFARMs and FFARMs of a 3D-printed spherical cap radiating in a hemi-anechoic room. Experimental results provided a reliable validation of the numerical results.

Generation of very high pressure pulses at the surface of a sandwiched piezoelectric material

New clinical concepts in lithotripsy demand small shock heads. Reducing the size of piezoelectric shock heads will only be possible if the pressure generated at the surface of each transducer can be increased so that the total pressure at the focus remains very high. We propose for the first time to increase the pressure without increasing the transducer voltage by using sandwiched transducers, which are a combination of several stacked transducers. When excited at appropriate time intervals, the pressure waves generated by each one reinforce when they reach the load. This new technique has been successfully tested. A pressure of 2.5 MPa was generated with two stacked, 5 mm-thick 1-3 piezocomposite transducers operating at an excitation voltage of 8 kV. No transducer damage was detected after 10(6) shocks, which corresponds approximately to the treatment of 500 patients.

Dynamics of the free surface of a conducting liquid in a near-critical electric field

Near-critical behavior of the free surface of a perfectly conducting liquid in an external electric field is considered. Based on an analysis of three-wave processes using the method of integral estimates, sufficient criteria for hard instability of a planar surface are formulated. It is shown that the higher-order nonlinearities do not saturate the instability, for which reason the growth of disturbances has an explosive character.

Acoustic field modeling for physiotherapy ultrasound applicators by using approximated functions of measured non-uniform radiation distributions

The strongest therapeutic effects in ultrasonic physiotherapy are mainly produced at the first centimeters, i.e. close to the applicator surface and, in general, only in the near-field zone. The acoustic field produced in practice by this type of transducers differs from the classical models because the vibration distribution on the real transducer surfaces is non-uniform. However, neither models using uniform distribution, nor those using typical non-uniform distribution patterns for the source accurately represent the radiation of this kind of transducers. Although this therapy is widely used and many efforts have been made in experimentally studying the patterns of ultrasound radiation produced during physiotherapy applications (IEC-61689, 1998), additional modeling researches still would be needed in order to achieve improved models giving field patterns closer to the measured ultrasonic results. In this paper, acoustic patterns produced from two source radiation functions are proposed and evaluated for field modeling of physiotherapy applicators. Both the functions are approximations to the pressure distribution measured close to the emitting surface and they are based on the modulation of the classical simply-supported function using either sinusoidal or Bessel-type distributions. The simply-supported function is accounted for the radiator-fixing condition and the modulation function simulates the complex vibration distribution of this kind of transducer. The modulator Bessel function is based on reports about Bessel-type vibration distributions found in piezoelectric disk resonators. The use of a selected sinusoidal segment represents another analytical option for obtaining an approximated behavior of the measured data in a real applicator. Both the field models are implemented using the finite element method (FEM) to obtain the numerical solution of wave equation at each point in the radiated space. The solution is reached by considering axisymmetric radiation in attenuation-free media. The results indicate the viability of applying an adequate model for acoustic field calculation by simulating the radiating distribution on the emitting surface as either sinusoidal or Bessel-modulated functions. Models using both the functions describe reasonably real behaviors, but those based on Bessel functions are better correlated with the measurements. The results for three commercial applicators indicate the possibility of representing, with adequate verisimilitude, the acoustic field radiated by physiotherapy ultrasound transducers using linear combinations of Bessel profiles describing the radiation source.     

圆弧片状声源向地层中辐射声场的有限差分模拟

提出了一种可用于随钻声波测井的非对称的圆弧片状声源,旨在发展一种能够在钻井过程中精确确定反射体位置的三维反射声波远探测方法。研究了在复杂的井孔条件(钻铤偏心、各向异性和不规则井孔形状)下,该声源向地层中辐射的声场的特征,进一步分析了不同井况条件对三维随钻远探测声波测井的影响。数值模拟结果表明,在圆形井孔、钻铤居中条件下,无论快速地层还是慢速地层,圆弧片状声源均能够向地层中定向辐射声波信号,其辐射指向性图主瓣3 dB角宽窄,旁瓣级低,方位分辨率较高,适用于随钻三维反射成像测井;井壁粗糙程度、地层各向异性等因素对声场特征影响不大,说明该方法适用于粗糙井壁和各向异性地层情况;钻铤偏心和井壁一侧的破坏对辐射声场的影响较大。对本文的模型而言,在破坏深度小于3 cm或者偏心距离小于2 cm时,声场仍有较好的方位特征,该方法仍然适用。而当破坏深度大于6 cm,声场指向性图出现多个幅值较大的角瓣,可能无法利用其确定反射体的方位。本文的研究结果为三维随钻反射声波仪的设计和研发提供了必备的理论基础。

High resolution diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas using reduced field of view single-shot echo-planar imaging at 3 T

Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) has been mostly acquired using single-shot echo-planar imaging (ss EPI) to minimize motion induced artifacts. The spatial resolution, however, is inherently limited in ss EPI especially for abdominal imaging, even with the advances in parallel imaging. A novel method of reduced Field of View ss EPI (rFOV ss EPI) has achieved high resolution DWI in human carotid artery, spinal cord with reduced blurring and higher spatial resolution than conventional ss EPI, but it has not been used to pancreas imaging. In the work, comparisons between the full FOV ss-DW EPI and rFOV ss-DW EPI in image qualities and ADC values of pancreatic tumors and normal pancreatic tissues were performed to demonstrate the feasibility of pancreatic high resolution rFOV DWI. There were no significant differences in the mean ADC values between full FOV DWI and rFOV DWI for the 17 subjects using b = 600 s/mm² (P = 0.962). However, subjective scores of image quality was significantly higher at rFOV ss DWI (P = 0.008 and 0.000 for b-value = 0 s/mm² and 600 s/mm² respectively). The spatial resolution of DWI for pancreas was increased by a factor of over 2.0 (from almost 3.0 mm/pixel to 1.25 mm/pixel) using rFOV ss EPI technique. Reduced FOV ss EPI can provide good DW images and is promising to benefit applications for pancreatic diseases.     

Ultrasonic imaging of an object at the presence of Fourier and non-Fourier transformation in the transmitted through the object acoustic field

A metal object is computer visualized by registration of the amplitudes of the transmitted through the object short acoustic pulses. The pulses are separated by time, because of the presence of holes and internal compact components in the longitudinal section (structure along the propagation direction of acoustic wave). The acoustic field transmitted through the object is composited from a field presenting Fourier transformation of the hole shape and field, transmitted through the metal components in the longitudinal section of the object. A computer Fourier transformation of the digital data of the amplitude fields transmitted through the object components is performed instead of converging lens. The Fourier series of the object obtained as digital data after the transformation is multiplied with a term, describing the angle distribution of the field on spatial frequencies. The reconstruction of the image of the metal components is performed by reverse transformation, i.e. summing up in all spatial frequencies. 3D visualization of the transmitted through the hole acoustic field determines the hole geometry (circular, square, rectangular).It is shown that at the transmission of a short acoustic pulse through the components with different thicknesses and holes, presenting Fourier and non-Fourier transformation can be registered separately in contrast to the optics.
