US pressure field prediction for a model of the InSightec ExAblate4000 system, illustrating the feasibility of 3D full-wave simulation for this system with 1024 independently driven transducers. The obtained pressure distribution is displayed with a logarithmic color scale on three orthogonal planes through the target. The distorting impact of tissue parameter inhomogeneity on the focus shape is clearly visible. Modeling allows to plan dynamic focus scanning, for contiguous heating of large tissue volumes.
