Abstract
The distortion caused by the skull poses challenges in determining the intensity and focal position of ultrasound waves in transcranial focused ultrasound therapy. Computational simulations can address this but are limited by high computational costs. To overcome this, we propose a deep learning-based surrogate model that provides real-time generation of the focal position and distribution of ultrasound waves passing through the skull. The model is trained using data from computational simulations performed on multiple skulls, allowing it to reflect distortion characteristics and predict acoustic fields for any skull. The proposed model offers a promising solution for accurate and efficient real-time estimation of the intracranial acoustic field.
