Introduction
Research has proven that it is possible to estimate temperature from body non-invasively by observing changes in backscatter energy in an ultrasounic image of the tissue.<ref name="Arthur Paper">[1], additional text.</ref>
temperature (37°C) to 60°C. Our overall goal was to contribute to the extension of this research such that it temperature estimation would be possible up to 70°C. To contribute to this research, the purpose of this work was to modify MATLAB code to be capable of data acquisition for synchronous temperature measurements and ultrasonic imaging from 36°C to 70°C. In addition to modifying the code, the design of the experiment was also modified to more efficiently produce results.
