posted on 2018-07-02, 13:44 authored by Yuebing WangHigh-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has been applied as an acceptable therapeutic
technique and various HIFU systems have achieved clinical approval for general use in
numerous countries. To ensure that an HIFU system is used in a safe and reliable
application, its acoustic field needs to be characterized accurately. However, the traditional
methods mostly are based on hydrophones, these sensors are found short of sufficient
temporal and spatial resolutions, especially, they can only tolerate small acoustic
pressures. This work is concerned with the feasibility of optical interferometry in measuring focused
acoustic fields and in predicting HIFU fields. [Continues.]
