The effects of superficial heating before 1-MHz ultrasound on tissue temperature

Article Abstract:

The effectiveness of superficial preheating on temperature elevation and decline when using ultrasound is assessed. Superficial preheating significantly increases temperature elevation but has no effect on temperature decline during a 15 minute cooling period.

Ultrasound heating is curvilinear in nature and varies between transducers from the same manufacturer

Article Abstract:

Intramuscular heating differences exist between transducers from the same manufacturer is determined. Results concluded that heating curves differ but peak heating at 10 minutes is similar.
