However, the path the ultrasound beam actually traverses is curved because of refraction in the imaged volume [I]. Additionally, the speed-of-sound in this volume is usually spatially variant. The procedure for unwarping the pulse echo image begins with determining the spatial variations in speed-of-sound in the imaged volume. The speed distribution may be known or can be measured using high resolution ultrasonic computed tomography (UCT). Next, rays are traced from the pulse echo transducer position through the volume under investigation. Finally, the measured echo wavetrain is mapped along the curved ray with corrections being made for the wavespeed along the ray path. The result is an image with the echoes placed at their correct origin.","PeriodicalId":240321,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1985 Ultrasonics Symposium","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114976453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A highprecision phase detection has been realized by a differential phase measurement system using focussed ultrasonic beams emitted from arched IDTs on a piezoelectric substrate. In the present system , a phase fluctuation of up to 0.1 deg. and the veloicity change larger than 2 mm/sec. can be detected. That plant cell, called Nitella, is well known to exhibit the electrical excitation and plasma streaming phenomena, and is often used for electrophysiological investigations. The phase measurements were made both at the steady states and the electrically excited state in Nitella, and the phase was found to be fluctuated. The fluctuation spectrum was examined by Fourier analysis.","PeriodicalId":240321,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1985 Ultrasonics Symposium","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128601936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our experience has shown that optimal coincidence of focus and axial intersection of the beams requires rather specific choices of dimensional parameters. We have studied acoustic beam formation by analysis and by computation using the Huygens-Fresnel principle and show that confocal operation from a simple solid lens substrate is possible. We also have found that a strong transverse component of field exists in the focal region of highly convergent beams and we believe that the transverse component is important in intermodulation and in understanding Rayleigh wave ineraction.","PeriodicalId":240321,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1985 Ultrasonics Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130765265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
