Development of a thermal test object for the measurement of ultrasound intracavity transducer self-heating

Intracavity transducers are probes used in early pregnancy scans. To ensure the transducers do not exceed the maximum temperature threshold when in close contact with embryonic and fetal tissues, a thermal test object (TTO) was designed to measure the temperature of the transducers when in contact with soft tissue. A tissue mimicking material (TMM) was fabricated in place of real human tissue and coupled with the transducer. A Thermal Constants ...
