摘要: 采用高强度聚焦超声(HIFU)治疗局部肿瘤,如何增强对病变区域的辐照效果,而尽量减少对健康区域的辐照损伤是一个很重要的问题。文章基于目前常用的凹球面自聚焦换能器,提出了解决上述问题的方案,设计了新型的换能器,对其工作方式及声场特性进行了研究。结果表明:采用多换能器轮流发射的方式进行治疗是一种行之有效的解决方案。Abstract: When using HIFU to treat local tumor, enhancing exposure on lesion while decreasing exposure on healthy tissues is an important requirement. This paper presents some methods for solving the problem based on current concave spherical transducers and new transducer designs. The working principle is then studied. The results imply that using a number of multiple transducers in turn is an effective solution to the above problem.
