Abstract

The invention discloses a double negative acoustic metamaterial for transcranial ultrasound imaging based on Mie resonance. The double negative acoustic metamaterial comprises an ultrasonic coupling agent as a matrix and a matrix dispersed in the matrix for generating mic The scatterer of the resonance, the scatterer is a porous polyethylene glycol diacrylate hydrogel microsphere; the volume fraction of the porous polyethylene glycol diacrylate hydrogel microsphere in the matrix is ​​15-25 %. The double negative acoustic metamaterial provided by the invention can effectively eliminate the dissipation and distortion of the skull on the sound wave, so it is expected to realize transcranial ultrasound imaging without relying on the naturally existing or artificial acoustic window of the skull.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of acoustic metamaterials, in particular to a double negative acoustic metamaterial based on Mie resonance for transcranial ultrasound imaging. Background technique [0002] In the medical field, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and brain ultrasound are the main imaging diagnostic methods for brain diseases. Although MRI is generally considered to be the most suitable method for brain examination, and CT also has its excellent diagnostic value, in some cases, brain ultrasound has an irreplaceable role. First, cranial ultrasound can provide hemodynamic information that cannot be obtained by MRI and CT; secondly, cranial ultrasound equipment is portable and suitable for bedside detection and long-term dynamic monitoring in emergency departments such as ambulances, emergency rooms, and intensive care units. In particular, bedside examinations can be performed for critically ill patients who can...
