title: 3D modeling of phased array generated ultrasounds in lossy media.
abstract: A general algorithm for three-dimensional (3D) modeling of acoustic fields generated by phased array transducers and propagating in uniformly lossy media is introduced and illustrated also with the help of specific examples. Applications of the method are foreseen in the analysis and the design of transducers for echographic applications in order to evaluate and/or optimize their performances.
