Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We have proposed a novel technique for acquiring Schlieren-like images of ultrasound fields using a simple optics. This technique takes two shadowgraphs with and without ultrasound exposure and visualizes an acoustic field by subtraction of the images. In this study, a Schlieren system was improved to visualize diagnostic ultrasound fields. A pressure sensor that receives ultrasound pulses was added to the system, and the detected signal was used for a timing signal to visualize instantaneous fields of propagating ultrasound. Various diagnostic ultrasound fields were visualized, such as the propagating fields from near-field to focal regions, and the fields in M mode and pulse Doppler mode. In these results, the importance of the proposed method for evaluation of aged deterioration and malfunction of a diagnostic ultrasound probe was confirmed. The relation between pressure and image brightness was investigated, and a good correlation was found between the pulse-averaged square values of the pressure and brightness. This suggests the usefulness of this method for the determination of output intensities of diagnostic ultrasound equipment.
