Characterization of temperature-dependent echo-shifts and backscattered energy induced by thermal ultrasound

Existence of accurate temporal-spatial temperature models, which would enable non-invasive estimates, will promote ultrasound-based thermal therapy applications. These models should reflect the tissue temperature with a maximum absolute error of 0.5 ºC within 1 cm3. In-vitro experiments have been de...
