Project Description

The project aims at the numerical simulation of ultrasound wave propagation in concentrators and waveguides used to produce high amplitude pressure pulses to treat calcified tissues. The project will involve the selection of the finite element simulation environment, the validation of the
method by comparison with experimental results in simple configurations, and finally the study and optimization of clinically relevant configurations. The project will be performed in collaboration with SoundBite Medical which uses this technology to treat cardiovascular disease.
