Numerical Evaluation of the Influence of Skull Heterogeneity on Transcranial Ultrasonic Focusing
In transcranial penetration, ultrasound undergoes refraction, diffraction, multi-reflection, and mode conversion. These factors lead to phase aberration and waveform distortion, which impede the realization of transcranial ultrasonic imaging and therapy. Ray tracing has been used to correct the phas...
