Feasibility of detecting change in backscattered energy of acoustic harmonics in locally heated tissues

Purpose: A real-time noninvasive thermometry technique is required to estimate the temperature distribution during hyperthermia to monitor and control the treatment. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the possibility of detecting change in backscatter energy (CBE) of acoustic harmoni...
