We developed a novel method for both temperature estimation and thermal mapping that uses ultrasound B-mode radiofrequency data. The proposed method is a hybrid that combines elements of physical and statistical models to achieve higher precision and resolution of temperature variations and distribution. We propose a dimensionless combined index (CI) that combines the echo shift differential and signal intensity difference with a weighting factor relative to the distance from the heat source. Invitro experiments verified that the combined index has a strong linear relationship with temperature variation and can be used to effectively estimate temperature with an average relative error <5%. This algorithm provides an alternative for imaging guidance-based techniques during thermal therapy and could easily be integrated into existing ultrasound systems. ? 2014 World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology. |
