Popis: The imaging range of traditional plane wave imaging is usually limited by the directivity of the plane wave. In this paper, a multi spherical wave imaging method based on an ultrasonic array is proposed, which radiates both compression and shear waves in a solid medium to form the multi spherical wave. Firstly, excitation characteristics of the multi spherical wave are analyzed theoretically and the calculation method of echo delay of multi spherical wave imaging is derived. Multi spherical wave imaging is compared with conventional ultrasonic plane wave imaging by designing experiments. Compared with ultrasonic plane wave imaging, multi spherical wave imaging is not limited to the size of the transducer and can greatly improve the detection range. In addition, compared with the multi plane wave imaging method, the multi spherical wave imaging algorithm is relatively simple, fast, and has high application value.
