METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING TEMPERATURE USING ULTRASOUND

摘要

Provided are a method and apparatus for monitoring a temperature using an ultrasound wave. The method of monitoring a temperature using an ultrasound wave may include generating ultrasound speed data according to temperature in tissue of a target object, from ultrasound speed data according to temperature in each component forming the tissue, based on volume fraction of each of the components; and estimating a temperature of the tissue based on an ultrasound echo signal reflected by the tissue and the generated ultrasound speed data according to temperature.
