Title: | Dependence of ultrasonic attenuation and absorption in dog soft tissues on temperature and thermal dose | Authors: | Maass-Moreno, Roberto Fry, Francis J. Damianou, Christakis A. Sanghvi, Narendra T. |
Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Electrical Engineering - Electronic Engineering - Information Engineering | Keywords: | Animals;Body Temperature;Body Temperature Regulation;Dogs;Ultrasonics | Issue Date: | 1-Apr-1997 | Source: | Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997, vol. 102, no. 1 | Volume: | 102 | Issue: | 1 | Journal: | Journal of the Acoustical Society of America | Abstract: | The effect of temperature and thermal dose (equivalent minutes at 43 °C) on ultrasonic attenuation in fresh dog muscle, liver, and kidney in vitro, was studied over a temperature range from room temperature to 70 °C. The effect of temperature on ultrasonic absorption in muscle was also studied. The attenuation experiments were performed at 4.32 MHz, and the absorption experiments at 4 MHz. Attenuation and absorption increased at temperatures higher than 50 °C, and eventually reached a maximum at 65 °C. The rate of change of tissue attenuation as a function of temperature was between 0.239 and 0.291 Np m-1 MHz-1 °C-1 over the temperature range 50-65 °C. A change in attenuation and absorption was observed at thermal doses of 100-1000 min, where a doubling of these loss coefficients was observed over that measured at 37 °C, presumably the result of changes in tissue composition. The maximum attenuation or absorption was reached at thermal dosages on the order of 107 min. It was found that the rate at which the thermal dose was applied (i.e., thermal dose per min) plays a very important role in the total attenuation absorption. Lower thermal dose rates resulted in larger attenuation coefficients. Estimations of temperature- dependent absorption using a bioheat equation based thermal model predicted the experimental temperature within 2 °C. | ISSN: | 00014966 | DOI: | 10.1121/1.419737 | Rights: | © Acoustical Society of America | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Indiana University | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
