✦ Synopsis

Ultrasound as a therapeutic modality inchldes the utili-ation of ultrasonic heating effects for the treatment of various abnormalities. HyperthernliaJdlls under this functionalism and ultrasonics is now a well-established technique for cancer treatment warranting enlarged clinical trials but is impeded by the lack of non-invasit'e methods for temperature measurement and control. The study of the temperature dependence of the velocity of sound would be a possible means of thermometry say for cancer therap.v, and is studied #7 detail for various biological media. The proportionate relationship between temperature and velocity among different tissues and structures are envisaged and correlated.
