The acoustic pressure field of an electrohydraulic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter is
modeled with a nonlinear parabolic wave equation (the KZK equation). The model accounts …

Finite amplitude distortion based harmonic imaging has been used to reduce the image
quality degradation produced by tissue inhomogeneities. Such harmonic signals are …

Acoustic saturation pressures are predicted for ultrasonic beams of a range of frequencies
and focal depths. Using reasonable approximations, saturation values for mechanical index …

Evidence is presented for excess attenuation of pulsed ultrasound due to finite amplitude
effects in water. Measurements on a modern scanner are used to demonstrate that linear …

The use of the second harmonic bandwidth in order to improve the contrast enhancement of
vascular space provided by microbubble echo contrast is well established. A significant …

The effect of nonlinear propagation in fluid followed by soft tissue was studied both
theoretically and experimentally for a most crucial case in obstetrical ultrasonography. For …

Generation of the second harmonic signal was studied for finite amplitude distortion based
harmonic imaging. Acoustic field amplitudes along the range axis of a fixed focus transducer …

This work aims to validate a time domain numerical model for the short pulse finite amplitude
sound beam propagation, radiated by a plane piston, in biological tissue. As it has been …
