Recently, I wanted to simulate ultrasound image from CT scan data. And then, I tried to replace the vessel model with a bone model in tracked ultrasound simulator. But the simulated bone ultrasound image seems more like a vessel ultrasound image. So I wonder what parameters I should use to get a better result?
Here are my parameters values and the result I got:
You have to adjust acoustic parameters of the SpatialModel element to model behavior of a bone. See PlusDeviceSet_UsSimulatorAlgoTestLinear.xml file:
DensityKgPerM3="1900"
SoundVelocityMPerSec="4000"
AttenuationCoefficientDbPerCmMhz="15.0"
BackscatterDiffuseReflectionCoefficient="0.03"
SurfaceSpecularReflectionCoefficient="0.1"
SurfaceDiffuseReflectionCoefficient="0.0"
TransducerSpatialModelMaxOverlapMm="10"
