Published Workflows

Objective: Develop and validate a non-invasive method for quantifying focused ultrasound acoustic fields, especially high-pressure distributions in the focal region.

Why it works: The workflow uses acousto-optic laser deflection measurements acquired from multiple orientations to reconstruct refractive index gradient distributions and then map those optical signals to the sound pressure field.

Steps

  1. 1.
    Construct acousto-optic deflection experimental systemassay method being implemented

    Build the measurement platform required for LDAQ data acquisition.

    The optical and motion-control system must exist before tomographic scanning can be performed.

  2. 2.
    Acquire laser deflection images at multiple orientationsassay method being executed

    Collect tomographic optical measurements of the acoustic field.

    Multi-orientation image acquisition is required before computational reconstruction can be performed.

  3. 3.
    Reconstruct refractive index gradient distributions with Radon-transform inversioncomputation method used for reconstruction

    Infer refractive index gradient distributions from optical observables.

    This analysis depends on the previously acquired tomographic optical data and provides the intermediate representation needed for pressure mapping.

  4. 4.
    Map optical signals to the sound pressure field using adaptive weighted fusioncomputation method used for pressure mapping

    Convert reconstructed optical information into the target sound pressure field.

    Pressure mapping follows reconstruction because it uses the optical signals produced by the earlier acquisition and inversion steps.

  5. 5.
    Compare reconstructed LDAQ field with hydrophone measurements and numerical simulationsassay method being benchmarked

    Validate whether the LDAQ reconstruction agrees with reference measurements and simulation.

    Benchmarking is performed after the pressure field has been reconstructed so that agreement with reference methods can be assessed.

For an acoustic field generated by a 0.84 MHz focused ultrasound transducer, LDAQ reconstruction showed high consistency with hydrophone measurements and numerical simulations within the focal zone.

To validate the LDAQ technique, an acoustic field generated by an FU transducer operating at 0.84 MHz was measured. The reconstructed results were compared with both hydrophone measurements and numerical simulations. The findings demonstrated high consistency among all three results within the focal zone.

Claim 5workflow mechanismsupports2025Source 1needs review

LDAQ acquires tomographic laser deflection images at multiple orientations, uses Radon-transform inversion to reconstruct refractive index gradient distributions from light intensity and spot displacement changes, and then uses adaptive weighted fusion to map optical signals to the sound pressure field.

Through tomographic scanning, laser deflection images of the acoustic field were acquired at multiple orientations. An inversion algorithm using Radon transforms was proposed to reconstruct the refractive index gradient distributions from the variations of light intensity and spot displacement. An adaptive weighted fusion strategy was then employed to map these optical signals to the sound pressure field.
