Ilościowa ocena nieliniowej propagacji w wodzie i w tkance

Nonlinear propagation effects were investigated numerically and experimentally u wate r and In blood from the point of view of ultrasonic diagnostic applications in cardlology. Pressure distributions of short and long pulses with the frequency of 3 and 3.5 MHz, radiated by a typical cardiological probe, were found along the ultrasonic beam axis. The numerial results were obtained by means of the numerical code Wf developed previously. The experimental pressure distributions were measured by memu of a membrane PYDF hydrophone. The obtained numerical and experimental results show ing the distributions of the 2-nd and I -st harmonics have shown good agreement allowing us to determine some diagnostic conclusions.
