Ultrasound Signals For Temperature Measurement In a Tissue Model

Öz

In hyperthermia applications, the modality of ultrasound signal treatment is used to eliminate tumor areas in tissue clinically. According to the other techniques, ultrasound is less costly and has simple signal processing methods. Therefore, the usage of ultrasound modality increases in temperature evaluation. By applying ultrasound signals to the tissue, it is expected that temperature will increase according to the specific properties of the tissue. To observe and evaluate this temperature increasing, general knowledge will be provided by basic sound waves and ultrasound properties in this study. In the next steps, a tissue model/ phantom will be created by a simulation programme with defining the tissue properties. The temperature change will be examined by applying ultrasound signals to this model.
