a) Diagram of proof-of-concept experimental applicator assembly consisting of an 8-ring cylindrical phased transducer array centered in a 3D printed hollow and air-backed paraboloid or conical reflector fixture, submerged in degassed and deionized water for hydrophone measurements. b) Fabricated array and transducer housing centered in a printed reflector fixture. c) Prototype deployable assembly with custom designed paraboloid multi-compartment balloon, with air inflation and distension of the external silicone membrane (black arrowhead) shown in d) to form a reflective boundary along the transverse boundary of the internal water-filled high-pressure PET balloon.
