摘　　要：为了提高聚焦超声的治疗精度,本文通过将两个完全相同,频率为0.6 MHz的行波聚焦换能器同轴共焦相向放置实现驻波聚焦。在相同焦点峰值正声压(17 MPa)条件下,结合组织中的声场数值仿真、空化和非线性测量,对比研究了驻波聚焦和行波聚焦超声分别辐照仿组织体模过程中的损伤变化及形成机制。研究可见:(1)相同焦点峰值正声压条件下,驻波聚焦和行波聚焦辐照形成的初始损伤尺寸分别为0.18λ×0.25λ、0.91λ×0.3λ,而达到相同焦点峰值正声压驻波聚焦所需的换能器表面声压仅为行波聚焦的0.46倍,表明驻波聚焦可以实现更精细的损伤同时降低声通道上声压幅值保护声通道的安全性。(2)相同焦点峰值正声压条件下,行波聚焦更快出现损伤,相比于空化,非线性效应影响更大。研究说明基于同轴共焦相向放置两换能器形成的驻波聚焦相比行波聚焦可以实现更精细的损伤,且声通道更安全,为驻波聚焦应用于临床提供了理论参考。To improve the treatment precision of focused ultrasound,two traveling wave focusing(TWF)transducers with the same frequency of 0.6 MHz are placed in opposite direction coaxially and confocally to realize standing wave focusing(SWF).Combining with the numerical simulation of sound field,cavitation and nonlinear research,lesion changes in tissue-mimicking phantom and the formation mechanism of lesion during SWF and TWF ultrasonic irradiation are compared under the same peak focus acoustic pressure about 17 MPa.The results demonstrate that the size of initial lesion formed by SWF ultrasonic irradiation is 0.18λ×0.25λ,which is significant smaller than that of TWF,0.91λ×0.3λ,under the same peak focus acoustic pressure.But the surface sound pressure of the SWF transducers is only 0.46 times that of TWF.It shows that SWF can significantly compress the lesion size in the transverse direction and can protect organs and tissues by reducing the amplitude of acoustic pressure.And the lesion caused by TWF ultrasound appeared faster than SWF,which is related to the strong nonlinear effect of TWF.The results in this paper show that SWF can achieve more precise lesion than TWF,and the acoustic path is safer,which provides a theoretical reference for the application of SWF in clinic.
