Abstract

Full-waveform modelling serves as the basis for many emerging inversion techniques within ultrasound computed tomography. Being able to accurately depict strong material interfaces, such between soft tissue and bone, is particularly important for ensuring that these numerical methods produce physically correct results. We present a procedure for constructing digital twins of various parts of the human body through the use of conforming hexahedral meshes, which are used together with the spectral-element method to accurately model the interactions of the ultrasound wavefield at these sharp material boundaries. In silico cranial and knee phantoms are used as examples.
