The methods of this work involved the measurement of temperature and synchronous ultrasonic imaging of tissue in a water bath. The tissue was usually a piece of turkey purchased from a local grocery store or a piece of preserved rabbit liver. The tissue was placed in experimental housing as seen in Figure 1. This housing was then placed in a water bath in an insulated container, as seen in Figure 2.

Also seen in Figure 2 are thermocouples inserted into the tissue. These thermocouple attached to a DATAQ device. This system measures the temperature in the tissue
