Area of Science:

  • Acoustic simulations
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Computational physics

Background:

  • Accurate acoustic simulations are crucial for applications like transcranial focused ultrasound (TUS).
  • Simulating TUS through heterogeneous media, such as the skull, presents significant computational challenges.
  • Existing solvers may struggle to balance accuracy and computational efficiency in highly heterogeneous environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel wave solver within the mSOUND MATLAB toolbox for acoustic simulations.
  • To assess the solver's performance in simulating TUS through fully heterogeneous skull models.
  • To investigate the impact of acoustic property conversion parameters on simulation accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a new wave solver integrated into the open-source mSOUND MATLAB toolbox.
  • Simulated transcranial focused ultrasound using fully heterogeneous skull models derived from CT scans.
  • Compared computational times and accuracy against the k-Wave solver.
  • Investigated the effect of the maximum speed of sound parameter on simulation outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The mSOUND solver achieved computational savings of two orders of magnitude compared to k-Wave.
  • Comparable accuracy was maintained, especially in the focal region.
  • Increasing the maximum speed of sound parameter led to decreased focal pressure and increased mSOUND error in the focal region.

Conclusions:

  • The new mSOUND wave solver offers a significant advancement in computational efficiency for acoustic simulations in heterogeneous media.
  • The solver is particularly effective for simulating transcranial focused ultrasound through complex skull geometries.
  • Careful consideration of the maximum speed of sound parameter is necessary for accurate TUS simulations.
