Abstract
In this paper, we present a method for surrogate model of transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) propagation problem using deep learning technique. The trained neural network outputs an acoustic source position of transducer placement. The training datasets are generated by forward tFUS simulation using finite-difference time-domain method. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated through three examples of ex vivo human calvaria. The results show that the deep learning based model can provide an accurate acoustic field solution in real-time. Through this study, we proved the effectiveness of the deep-learning based surrogate model of tFUS propagation problem and its applicability in practical clinics.
