Influence of mode conversions in the skull on transcranial focused ultrasound and temperature fields utilizing the wave field separation method: A numerical study |
(color online) Temperature rises on the central axis with (red lines) and without (green lines) mode conversions, where ((a)–(e)) θ = 0° and FD increases from 10 mm to 50 mm in steps of 10 mm, and ((f)–(h)) FD = 30 mm and θ increases from 10° to 30° in steps of 10°. |
