The invention is disclosed to integrate of ultrasonic temperature-change and elasticity-change to monitor high-intensity focused ultrasound thermal ablation process. A 2-MHz focused ultrasound transducer is employed to produce the thermal lesion ex-vivo. An ultrasound imaging system is employed to acquire RF data for post-processing based on a cross-correlation analysis technique. Estimated thermal lesion size is then quantified and then compared histologically. Preliminary results demonstrate that temperature estimation is beneficial in the monitoring of the entire heating process and improve the specificity of thermal lesion detection.本發明揭露一種具有超音波溫度影像及彈性影像之高能聚焦式超音波裝置及其使用方法,藉由相同的聚焦式超音波探頭,可使用不同功率對於待測物進行熱燒灼,且可以超音波成像系統利用互相關分析法進行溫度及彈性估測。100...水槽101...高能聚焦式超音波探頭102...功率放大器103...訊號產生器104...超音波影像探頭105...超音波成像系統106...電腦
