			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi everyone,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'm new to K Wave and I'm trying to simulate an ultrasound B mode image - I strongly follow the provided examples, except for adjusting the parameters to suit my needs.&#60;br /&#62;
I have an example experiment set up with:&#60;br /&#62;
phantom size 0.004m x 0.004m x 0.004m&#60;br /&#62;
dx = 0.22e-3m&#60;br /&#62;
automatic pml-generation&#60;br /&#62;
source strength 0.5e6&#60;br /&#62;
tone_burst_freq = 7e6&#60;br /&#62;
tone_burst_cycles = 5&#60;br /&#62;
number_scan_lines = 16&#60;br /&#62;
transducer_number_elements = 16&#60;br /&#62;
The B-Mode image ends up not resembling the grouund-truth image (voxel-cross-section) at all: Either it shows somewhat random signal, or it shows no signal at all (and the scan_lines consist mostly of NaN data). In the latter case, the simulation using C++ is much faster than usual. I checked the time step and it should be okay.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Any ideas where I should be looking for the issue?
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
