Abstract

We demonstrate a non-invasive technique, based on the modal frequency shift of a region insonified by a dual-beam ultrasound (US) transducer (region of interest, ROI), to remotely assess the temperature of the region in a tissue-mimicking object. The application is in ultrasound hyperthermia systems for controlled maintenance of tumour temperature during chemotherapy. Towards this, we have characterised the variation of the storage modulus with the temperature of two tissue-mimicking visco-elastic materials. Due to this variation in tissue storage modulus (and viscosity), we have observed a shift in the resonant modes of the ROI, vibrated remotely with a dual-beam focussed ultrasound transducer. A modal analysis of the vibrating ROI is done to identify the modes captured by the detector. A variation in this modal frequency with temperature is computed and matches reasonably well with the experimental measurements. Through this, we demonstrate that an ultrasound hyperthermia system can have a remote temperature sensor without using an additional imaging modality.
