摘要:

人类颅骨对超声波的传播构成了显著的障碍。因此,开发能够更有效地将超声传输到大脑和从大脑传输的方法对于超声介导的经颅成像或致动技术的进步至关重要。我们报告的第一次观察到的导声波在近场的离体人类头骨标本的频率范围在0.2和1.5 MHz之间。与先前在薄啮齿动物头骨中观察到的导波传播相反,在较高频率范围内观察到的导波对应于准瑞利波,主要局限于骨皮质层。新发现的人类头骨的近场特性有望促进基于经颅超声的更有效的诊断和治疗技术的发展。

英文摘要:

Human skull poses a significant barrier for the propagation of ultrasound waves. Development of methods enabling more efficient ultrasound transmission into and from the brain is therefore critical for the advancement of ultrasound-mediated transcranial imaging or actuation techniques. We report on the first observation of guided acoustic waves in the near-field of an ex vivo human skull specimen in the frequency range between 0.2 and 1.5 MHz. In contrast to what was previously observed for the guided wave propagation in thin rodent skulls, the guided wave observed in a higher frequency regime corresponds to a quasi-Rayleigh wave, mostly confined to the cortical bone layer. The newly discovered near-field properties of the human skull are expected to facilitate the development of more efficient diagnostic and therapeutic techniques based on transcranial ultrasound.
