High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is gaining rapid clinical acceptance as a treatment
modality enabling non-invasive tissue heating and ablation for numerous applications. HIFU …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of hydrophones, their design considerations,
physical aspects, and structures by reviewing many publications that have been published …

This article presents basic principles of hydrophone measurements, including mechanisms
of action for various hydrophone designs, sensitivity and directivity calibration procedures …

This review paper examines some of the issues relating to calibration and measurement of
therapeutic medical ultrasonic equipment (MUE). This is not intended to be an all …

We use focused ultrasound bursts to submit a liquid to mechanical tension. When the
pressure in the sound wave reaches a sufficiently low value, vapor bubbles are nucleated in …

Fiber-optic hydrophones (FOHs) are widely used to detect high-intensity focused ultrasound
(HIFU) fields. The most common type consists of an uncoated single-mode fiber with a …

A PVDF membrane hydrophone has been constructed in particular for comparisons of
broadband ultrasound hydrophone calibration methods and of the results obtained by …

This article reports spatiotemporal deconvolution methods and simple empirical formulas to
correct pressure and beamwidth measurements for spatial averaging across a hydrophone …

The spatiotemporal transfer function for a needle or reflectance-based fiber-optic
hydrophone is modeled as separable into the product of two filters corresponding to …

The primary objective of this work was to develop and optimize the calibration techniques for
ultrasonic hydrophone probes used in acoustic field measurements up to 100MHz. A …
