“…The aim of the study in [ 11 ] was to develop a new ultrasound method based on the simultaneous observation of the change in ultrasound velocity and frequency spectrum of the signal propagating in coagulating blood, and to apply it to the automatic estimation of blood coagulation parameters. The results have shown that the ultrasound velocity and the frequency spectrum of the ultrasound signal should be used simultaneously during blood clotting to determine the onset and duration of clot retraction.…”

The safety of ultrasound exposure is very important for a patient’s well-being. High-frequency (1–10 MHz) ultrasound waves are highly absorbed by biological tissue and have limited therapeutic effects on internal organs. This article presents the results of the development and application of a low-frequency (20–100 kHz) ultrasonic transducer for sonication of biological tissues. Using the methodology of digital twins, consisting of virtual and physical twins, an ultrasonic transducer has been developed that emits a focused ultrasound signal that penetrates into deeper biological tissues. For this purpose, the ring-shaped end surface of this transducer is excited not only by the main longitudinal vibrational mode, which is typical of the flat end surface transducers used to date, but also by higher mode radial vibrations. The virtual twin simulation shows that the acoustic signal emitted by the ring-shaped transducer, which is excited by a higher vibrational mode, is concentrated into a narrower and more precise acoustic wave that penetrates deeper into the biological tissue and affects only the part of the body to be treated, but not the whole body.
