Abstract :
A noninvasive ultrasonic method for temperature measurement in clinical applications is proposed. It is based on the variation of ultrasonic wave velocity with temperature. The theory, instrument design, and experimental results obtained with it are described. The techniques may prove useful in clinical hyperthermia
