ObjectiveInterstitial and intracavitary ultra- sound applicators had been developed and studied for minimally invasive treatments (MIT). However, the acoustic outputs are limited by the small-size PZT. We therefore studied the acoustic waveguide (AW) applicator which enables the use of a large-size PZT, and we aimed to advance AW applicators towards thermal ablation applications.MethodsDouble parabolic reflectors wave-guided ultrasonic transducer (DPLUS) was introduced which has two parabolic reflectors for enhancing the acoustic output. Theoretical modeling was conducted for optimizing the DPLUS thin waveguide.ResultsModeling results showed that optimal(thin waveguide radius/wavelength) can be found and the optimaldepends on the excitable vibration amplitude in the thin waveguide. A local optimal= 0.2392 was considered the best choice, which results in the optimal frequency of 2.2 MHz at the radiusof 0.6 mm. To verify this optimal frequency, experiments under two working frequencies of 1.0282 MHz and 2.2579 MHz were conducted. Temperature rise curves in the chicken breast tissue showed good agreements between experiments and modeling results, which proved the effectiveness of the modeling. In addition, experiments showed an ablated area with a diameter of 1.03±0.12 mm under continuous excitation of 2.2579 MHz and 5 s. Conclusion:The developed DPLUS advanced the AW applicators towards thermal ablation applications.SignificanceThis study provides the evidence for recognizing AW applicators as a technique for thermal ablation.
