| Abstract [eng] |
Primary radiation force subjects contrast agent particles to movement which can yield wrong Doppler shift. A known model of this movement is extended to include bubble oscillations. This allows to predict full spectrum of the returned signal, hence the model is useful for second-harmonic imaging. Analytical method to calculate steady-state velocity from parameters like bubble diameter, ultrasound pressure and frequency is provided; some simulation peculiarities are explained. Trajectory and response of a single bubble for two different Doppler angles were simulated using Matlab. A resonant bubble carried by 10 cm/s water flow exhibits almost no Doppler shift if irradiated forward flow by 46 kPa CW ultrasound. A drawback of the model - very long simulation time. |
