Problems solved by technology

The above-mentioned experts have conducted research on hemispherical and non-hemispherical phased transducers, but they have not involved the random distribution of hemispherical phased transducers with 256 array elements with an opening diameter of 300mm in the present invention, and have not defined the hemispherical transducers. Transcranial safe treatable range
In addition, the method of realizing the focusing of non-hemispherical transducers on hemispherical transducers by selecting part of the excitation array elements has never been studied.

Abstract

The invention discloses a focal region regulation and control method of a semispherical phased array ultrasonic energy transducer based on 256 array elements. The focal region regulation and control method of the semispherical phased array ultrasonic energy transducer based on 256 array elements includes the following steps: S1, randomly designing the center coordinate position of the first arrayelement; S2, when the center distance between neighboring array elements is no less than 18mm, selecting the nearest array element as the center coordinate position of the next array element, and according to the above steps, successively designing other array elements until the number of the array elements is 256; S3, exciting all the 256 array elements to realize transcranial focusing, performing value simulation on the temperature fields which are formed in the x, y and z directions of the three dimensional space, and determining the safe regulable and controllable range of the energy transducer; and S4, selecting part of the array elements of the energy transducer to excite to enlarge the safe regulable and controllable range of the energy transducer. The focal region regulation and control method of the semispherical phased array ultrasonic energy transducer based on 256 array elements can avoid occurrence of skull scald during the treating process of transcranial neurological disease, can realize focusing of small-opening non semispherical energy transducer in the large opening semispherical energy transducer, can enlarge the focal region regulation and control range, and canimprove the transcranial focusing performance of the energy transducer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-intensity focused ultrasound, in particular to a focal region control method based on a 256-element hemispherical phased array ultrasonic transducer. Background technique [0002] Brain tumor is one of the diseases of the brain and nervous system, and has become a major disease that endangers human life and health. Conventional surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemical drug therapy have high risks, large side effects, and large Molecular drugs cannot enter the brain tissue and other deficiencies, and neurological diseases such as epilepsy, neuralgia and tremor also have the risk of surgery, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with the characteristics of non-invasive and repeatable treatment is a One of the promising technologies for the clinical treatment of brain and nervous system diseases. In the process of HIFU transcranial treatment of these diseases, due to the large difference i...
