Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Ultrasound Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Tissue harmonic imaging (THI) using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has shown in vivo feasibility.
  • Isolating second harmonic signals in THI-IVUS typically involves pulse inversion (PI) and analog filtering.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simulation tool for investigating nonlinear IVUS beams.
  • To analyze the impact of mechanical rotation on the efficiency of PI signal processing in harmonic IVUS.

Main Methods:

  • Simulated nonlinear 20 MHz IVUS beams in a homogeneous tissue-mimicking medium.
  • Generated second harmonic pressure fields at 40 MHz.
  • Modeled acoustic tissue response by summing radio-frequency (RF) pulse-echoes from point-scatterers.

Main Results:

  • Simulations revealed nonlinear beam behavior and second harmonic generation.
  • Fundamental frequency suppression using PI degraded rapidly as transducer rotation angle increased relative to point-scatterers.

Conclusions:

  • The developed simulation tool aids in understanding nonlinear IVUS beam dynamics.
  • Transducer rotation negatively impacts PI performance, crucial for optimizing harmonic IVUS systems.
