Abstract:

This paper studies the temperature field in blood by calculating viscous energy dissipation of phospholipid membrane based ultrasonic contrast agent under the sound pressure excitation. According to the experimental observation, a cube model with a red blood cell as center and eight microbubbles as vertices is proposed. Temperature rise of the center is also calculated. Furthermore, considering the condition of high microbubble concentration and its adhesion to the surface of organizations, a cube model of closelypacked structure is also built. Temperature field in a rectangular region and the peak temperature is obtained though this model. Safety is analyzed in detail to demonstrate feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model.

Key words: closely-packed cube model,  cube model ,  dissipated energy ,  temperature field , ultrasonic contrast agent
