Abstract
This paper presents simulation results of wave propagation in a anatomic realistic head phantom for the purpose of obtaining the feasibility of detecting brain matter affected by a simulated stroke. An elliptical array of transmitter and receiver locations are defined and the differences in the fields created by the presence of the simulated stroke were simulated using a 3-D FDTD method and subsequently quantified.
