A visualization method for a wide range of rising temperature induced by high-intensity focused ultrasound using a tissue-mimicking phantom

Purpose High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment requires prior evaluation of the HIFU transducer output. A method using micro-capsulated thermochromic liquid crystal (MTLC) to evaluate the temperature distribution in the media during HIFU exposure has been previously developed. However, t...
