The waveform diversity method is applied for the simulation of focused ultrasound produced by concentric ring transducer phased arrays which are put in front of a tumor of human Urinary bladder. The waveform diversity method computes the output pressure in a certain volume. The pressure deposition due to the array used is converted to therapeutic temperature for tumor treatment. Simulation and results show that the concentric ring transducer phased arrays producing pressure determined by waveform Diversity Method can be applied successfully for urinary bladder tumor treatments.
