Experimental validation of acoustic and thermal modeling in heterogeneous phantoms using the hybrid angular spectrum method

Purpose The aim was to quantitatively validate the hybrid angular spectrum (HAS) algorithm, a rapid wave propagation technique for heterogeneous media, with both pressure and temperature measurements. Methods Heterogeneous tissue-mimicking phantoms were used to evaluate the accuracy of the HAS acous...
