Analysis and Design of Ultrasound Phased Arrays for Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy
Abstract
dc:descriptionAcoustic phased arrays, which can be focused and steered electronically, offer an attractive alternative to the mechanically scanned focused ultrasound systems currently in use in hyperthermia cancer therapy. This thesis introduces a new method which will allow the direct synthesis, without scanning, of the more diffuse heating patterns useful in hyperthermia. Two quite different phased arrays are theoretically evaluated as hyperthermia applicators: a concentric ring array (CRA), and an N x N square-element array.
