Abstract
Focused ultrasound-based methods are widely used in various areas of medicine for vascular damage coagulation in limbs and internal organs, venous obliteration, and ablation of breast and thyroid tumors. To plan heat exposure and control its effectiveness, it is necessary to monitor temperature during the treatment procedure. The article proposes two technologies for such monitoring, namely infrared thermography and ultrasound thermometry using neural network methods.
The proposed method of temperature recovery inside the material from surface temperature measurements enhances the potential of infrared thermography and improves the calibration accuracy of ultrasound thermometry.
The proposed method for determining the ultrasound signal shift has not been previously used for ultrasound thermometry. While maintaining acceptable accuracy, it can significantly reduce the computation time, which makes it possible to use it in real time.
