Pineda-Pardo","Bradley Treeby"],"abstract":"Transcranial ultrasound simulations are increasingly used to predict in situ exposure parameters for ultrasound therapies in the brain. However, there can be considerable uncertainty in estimating the acoustic medium properties of the skull and brain from computed tomography (CT) images. Here, we show how the resulting uncertainty in the simulated acoustic field can be predicted in a computationally efficient way using linear uncertainty propagation. Results for a representative transcranial simulation using a focused bowl transducer at 500 kHz show good agreement with unbiased uncertainty estimates obtained using Monte Carlo.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04405v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.04405v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"transcranial-ultrasound-simulation-with","repo_url":"https://github.com/ucl-bug/linear-uncertainty","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"jax","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
