  • Publication number: 20230389889
    Abstract: A method and system for ultrasonic non-invasive transcranial imaging employing a broadband acoustic metamaterial is provided. The method includes: obtaining reflected signals corresponding to different acoustic metamaterial parameter combinations and a skull as a whole (S101); determining a to-be-determined acoustic metamaterial parameter combination according to a to-be-determined reflected signal, and a trained three-layer back propagation (BP) neural network (S102); and determining whether the to-be-determined acoustic metamaterial parameter combination is within a threshold space (S103); if yes, preparing an acoustic metamaterial using the to-be-determined acoustic metamaterial parameter combination (S104); and performing ultrasonic non-invasive transcranial imaging on a resolution mold (S105); and if not, performing re-determination (S106).
