Résumé

The development of high power phased array ultrasound (US) systems used to generate and direct both moderate temperature hyperthermia and high temperature thermal ablation is discussed. The effects of hyperthermia and cavitation can also be utilized as activation mechanisms in targeted drug delivery. The one-dimensional prototype arrays are constructed from PZT (Navy Type III) and double-sized copper-clad Pyralux baffles. The system is tested after the ultrasound phased array is mounted in a water tank. It is found that the shape of the measured field in the direction of the array sampling is similar to the results obtained from computer simulations.
