摘要
基于二维面阵的三维空间内超声实时多焦点聚焦能够充分利用各个阵元的超声波能量,本文通过Random-Superposition(RS)算法,获取能够产生预先设定的多焦点的阵元激励。再叠加各个阵元激励对声场的响应,形成声场的焦点分布图像,来验证三维空间内的多点聚焦。通过给各个焦点加权,补偿能量较弱的焦点,有效增强了多焦点能量的均匀性。同时,焦点数目的增加有效提高了焦点能量的连续性。实时多焦点聚焦以其非介入性,安全性,毫米级高分辨率等优势有待应用于神经刺激、多焦点粒子操控等领域。
Real-time multiple focusing in the three dimensional space based on the 2D phased array can make full use of the ultrasonic energies of each element. In this article, the Random-Superposition(RS) algorithm is applied to determine the excitation waveform of each element which can generate the desired multiple focal points. By superposing the ultrasound field by summing up the contribution of each element's excitation, we can verify the distribution of the multiple focal points. Posing weight to each focus, the uniformity of the multiple focus is enhanced greatly by compensating the weak pressure intensity. Meantime, the continuity of the multiple focus is improved apparently by increasing the number of foci from 5 to 9. Owing to the noninvasiveness, security and the good spatial resolution at millimeter level of the real-time multiple focal points, it paves a promising way to be adopted in neurostimulation and multiple particle control, etc.
