Photoacoustic thermometry for therapeutic hyperthermia

Local hyperthermia is widely studied as a treatment option for small tumors. This study investigates the feasibility of exploiting the photoacoustic (PA) effect to monitor the in situ temperature rise during high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) exposures for therapeutic hyperthermia.
