Abstract :
Transmission line matrix (TLM) modeling is a numerical technique for modeling wave propagation. It was used originally for modeling electromagnetic waves. P.P.M. So et al. (1991) introduced the inverse TLM, which is TLM in time reversal. In this paper, we introduce TLM modeling and inverse TLM modeling and explain how it would be used for modeling ultrasound waves. Some applications of TLM modeling in medical ultrasound systems are also proposed
