  • Publication number: 20230240663
    Abstract: A method of simultaneously outputting a plurality of cavitation types on a digital image is provided. The method includes detecting acoustic emissions corresponding to the plurality of cavitation types, the plurality of cavitation types including at least some combination of linear scatter, stable cavitation, and inertial cavitation, generating, based on the acoustic emissions, a two-dimensional color map of the plurality of cavitation types on the digital image, the two-dimensional color map includes a first acoustic emission corresponding to linear scatter or stable cavitation and a second acoustic emission corresponding to linear scatter or inertial cavitation, and outputting on the digital image, displayed on the display of the computing device, the two-dimensional color map of the plurality of cavitation types.

  • Patent number: 11602327
    Abstract: Method and system for localizing a region of interest in a medium in which cavitation occurs. Method for localizing a region of interest (R) in a medium (M) in which cavitation occurs, the method comprising the steps consisting in: producing cavitation in the region of interest (R), the cavitation generating an acoustic signal, at each of at least three separate positions, detecting a cavitation signal representative of the acoustic signal of the cavitation, for at least two pairs of cavitation signals, determining a delay between the cavitation signals of each pair of cavitation signals, calculating a localization of the region of interest (R) based on the delays and the positions.
