Abstract
Vibro-acoustography is a new noncontact imaging method based on the radiation force of ultrasound. We extend this new technique for tissue characterization of arterial vessels by vibration techniques. In this paper a theoretical model for vibration analysis of arterial vessel with tissue is developed. Experimental studies were carried out on a silicone rubber tube embedded in a cylindrical gelatin phantom of larger radius, which simulates a large artery and the tissue body. The fundamental mode is well excited by the radiation force of ultrasound. The fundamental frequency was measured 81.8 Hz for a tube-phantom structure that is quite close to our theoretical prediction of 83.3 Hz.
