摘要
En 中文
Introduction: Lung Ultrasonography (LUS) is a fast technique for the diagnosis of patients with respiratory syndromes. B-lines are seen in response to signal reverberations and amplifications into sites with peripheral lung fluid concentration or septal thickening. Mathematical models are commonly applied in biomedicine to predict biological responses to specific signal parameters. Objective: This study proposes a Finite-Element numerical model to simulate radio frequency ultrasonic lines propagated from normal and infiltrated lung structures. For tissue medium, a randomized inhomogeneous data method was used. The simulation implemented in COMSOL (R) used Acoustic Pressure and Time-Explicit models, which are based on the discontinuous Galerkin method (dG). Results: The RF signals, processed in MATLAB (R), resulted in images of horizontal A-lines and vertical B-lines, which were reasonably similar to real images. Discussion: The use of inhomogeneous materials in the model was good enough to simulate the scattering response, similar to others in the literature. The model is useful to study the impact of the lung infiltration characteristics on the appearance of LUS images.
