Abstract(in English) Previously, we proposed a novel simple Schlieren method that eliminates the use of complex optical system for visualizing acoustic fields of diagnostic pulsed ultrasound. Based on the proposed method, we developed an experiment system and evaluated its applicability experimentally. In this study, we successfully visualized the acoustic field of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer with the developed experiment system. The input power of the transducer was changed in the range of 10-100W, and the visualized acoustic fields showed typical non-linear distortion at higher input powers. The results show that the proposed simple Schlieren method is useful for evaluating an acoustic field of a HIFU transducer.
