Design of a Versatile Angle-Rotatable Skull-Shaped Conformal Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Transducer for Noninvasive Brain Therapy

Phase-controlled focused ultrasound transducers have opened up a new way to noninvasively treat brain diseases. However, due to the geometry and the heterogeneous medium of the human skull, the currently used hemispherical transducers cannot guarantee that the ultrasound emitted by the transducer pe...

520 |a Phase-controlled focused ultrasound transducers have opened up a new way to noninvasively treat brain diseases. However, due to the geometry and the heterogeneous medium of the human skull, the currently used hemispherical transducers cannot guarantee that the ultrasound emitted by the transducer penetrates the skull normally; consequently, the impact of the shear wave on the treatment area has to be considered. The usual approach is to turn off elements in the transducer with excessively large incident angles, but this approach reduces the efficiency of the transducer. This article presents the design of a novel transducer that can be rotated according to the different geometric shapes of the skull. The incident angles of the elements in the transducer are modified so that the effect of the shear wave on the treatment area can be ignored and the efficiency of the transducer is improved. The results of computed tomography (CT) model simulation of nine skulls verify the versatility and feasibility of the new transducer. We believe that this kind of rotatable transducer has clinical and engineering significance
