초음파 흡수에 의한 단백질에서의 온도 변화 특성을 관측하기 위하여, 간단한 조직의 형태인 계란 흰자와 계란 흰자의 주성분인 물과 알부민 수용액을 시료로 선택하여, 초음파 흡수에 의한 온도 변화 특성을 물리 음향학적으로 관측하였다. 수 MHz의 초음파를 집속형 변환기에서 연속파의 형태로 시료에 투사하였을 때, 한정된 시료에서의 온도 변화를 측정하였다. 측정결과, 물과 알부민 성분에 의한 온도 증가 효과는 미미함을 알 수 있었다. 초음파 흡수에 의한 계란 흰자에서의 온도 변화는 단백질의 주성분인 알부민에 의한 효과보다는, 단백질을 구성하고 있는 각 성분들의 결합에 의한 효과가 큼을 알 수 있다. 이들 결과에 대한 이론적 검토로부터 초음파 흡수에 의한 인체내 온도 변화 및 부작용에 대한 초음파 강도의 안전기준의 토대 마련이 가능함을 제시하였다.

초음파 수신 신호의 공진주파수 변화를 이용한 온도 측정법에서 협대역 변환기를 사용한 초음파 온도측정이 가능함을 보여준다. 그리고 이를 위하여 공진주파수 변화와 온도변화간의 비례상수를 변화시켰다. 기존의 측정법은 온도변화와 기본주파수 변화와의 관계를 비례상수로 정의하였기 때문에, 최소한 3개 이상의 하모닉을 포함하는 광대역 변환기가 필요하였다. 하지만 협대역 변환기를 이용한 온도측정법에서는 비례상수를 주파수 변화비와 온도변화간의 관계로 나타내기 때문에 한 성분의 하모닉만을 측정하여도 온도측정이 가능하게 된다.

Effect of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis have serious damage for the possibility has been reported very low. Long time ultrasound scan can rise the temperature in body tissues and affect the physical. Changes in body temperature have been studied with ultrasound scan time. Fetal ultrasonography were evaluated without the influence of time. The findings, ultrasound scan time in 40 minutes the temperature was reduced. 50 minute tissue temperature rose more than $1^{\circ}C$. If within 40 minutes of ultrasound to be safe guess

Currently, ultrasound examination for diagnostic ultrasound and health examination purposes is widely used, and it is showing an increasing trend due to the application of health insurance. However, the risk of ultrasound has not been clearly identified so far, and in this study, surface and deep temperature changes according to frequency and mode were measured by using a tissue mimicking phantom and TI and MI values were compared. A simulated phantom was manufactured by adding a small amount of kappa-caraginan powder with acoustic characteristics similar to that of the human body and potassium chloride for solidification, and the change of surface and depth temperature was measured using a surface thermometer and a probe thermometer. As a result, the convex probe using low frequency showed a higher temperature increase than the linear probe using high frequency, so there was a significant difference, and the temperature increase was the highest on the surface, and the depth of 1cm showed a temporary temperature increase, but there was no significant temperature change. There was no change in the deep temperature of 5 cm to 15 cm, and the TI and MI values did not change during the test time. Since only the surface temperature rose during the 15-minute test and there was no temperature change in the core, so it is not expected to show a temperature change that is harmful to the human body. However, it is thought that prolonged examination of one area may cause temperature rise, so it should be avoided.

Ultrasonic imprinting is a novel process for replicating micropatterns on thermoplastic polymer substrates with low energy consumption and short cycle time. The polymer substrate is softened by the frictional heat and repetitive deformation energy under ultrasonic excitation; thus, a number of micropatterns are replicated on the softened polymer substrate. In the present work, the effect of mold temperature on the replication characteristics of ultrasonic imprinting is investigated. The temperature change in the patterned region is measured by varying the mold temperature. Numerical simulation is then performed for investigating pattern replication characteristics under various mold temperatures. In addition, pattern replication ratio and uniformity are compared through various experimental measurements. Through the results of these comparisons, it is found that the mold temperature has a significant positive effect on the replication characteristics of ultrasonic imprinting.

매질 내부로 전파하는 초음파는 점성손실(viscous loss), 열전도 손실(heat conduction loss) 둥 다양한 상호작용을 통해 흡수되어 열에너지로 변환되기 때문에 매질 내의 온도 변화를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 RTV 고무 내부에 47 개의 열전대를 장착하여 초음파 영상 진단기로부터 발생되는 초음파 음장에 따른 각 열전대의 채널별 온도변화의 측정결과를 제시하였다.

Samples (two granites, marble, sandstone) were heated in an electric furnace at temperature $400^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$ in order to investigate the change of physical properties of rocks depending on the heating temperature. Changes of Color and physical properties such as specify gravity, porosity, absorption, p-wave velocity are visible while mineralogical changes by using polarizing microscope are not pronounced. In addition, porosity and absorption increased while specific gravity and p-wave velocity decreased at a more higher temperature ($600^{\circ}C$). Although the open porosity does not indicate total porosity of the rock. but p-wave velocity can be used to evaluate the degree of damage Therefore, porosity and p-wave velocity should be compared in order to investigate the change of physical properties of rocks depending on the heating temperature.

The temperature change due to focused ultrasound in dissipative acoustic medium is very important because it provides us much information. To measure the temperature change inside of the dissipative acoustic medium non-invasively, we adopt a temperature sensitive film which has thermochromic particles with critical temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. As a dissipative acoustic medium, agar layer is chosen in the study. The temperature change due to the ultrasound was measured depending on the concentration of the sugar in the agar layer. The color change on the film due to the ultrasound was investigated when the concentration of sugar was from 25% to 40%. As the result, there were rapid increases of discolored area on the film within 2~5 second after the ultrasound driving and the increasing rates decreased after the period. To compare the simulation results were also shown. However in the simulated result, the discolored areas linearly increased from start to 10 seconds. The reason of the differences between the experimental results and simulated ones is that the change of thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the medium were not considered in the simulation program.

Ultrasound is known to be harmless to the human body and is widely used in obstetrics and gynecology to confirm the diagnosis and development status of fetus. Diagnosis Although long - term use of ultrasound may cause changes in body temperature, studies on the uterine temperature changes due to ultrasound have been lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of temperature according to ultrasonic scanning time using a self - produced uterine model phantom. Ultrasound equipment and a 4MHz convex probe were used to construct the uterine model phantom similar to the human uterus using acrylic and pig uterus, which are tissue equivalents. Three probe type thermometers were installed to measure the inside of the acrylic water tank, the uterus, and the atmospheric temperature. The temperature of the uterine phantom was ascertained by measuring the temperature of the subject for 6 hours, 361 times. In this study, the possibility of human body temperature elevation due to ultrasound could be confirmed and this study will be used as the basic data of ultrasonic heat absorption study.

Recently, as the number of high-risk pregnancies increases, the use of new techniques such as Doppler, which have higher acoustic power than in the past, has been increasingly used in prenatal diagnosis and guidelines have been set up by various organizations to prevent excessive exposure. Therefore, in this study, we tried to investigate the temperature change of the body surface for each test mode according to the long time ultrasound examination and to examine the exposure time which is not influenced by the thermal effect. B mode, C mode, and PD mode according to time, and the temperature difference between exposed and unexposed sites were compared. As a result, the B mode showed a significant difference in the temperature change from 10 minutes, 50 minutes after exposed, 20 minutes from the C mode, and 30 minutes from the PD mode (p<0.01). In all three modes, the temperature difference was different (p<0.000), and PD mode was the most sensitive to temperature change. Also, it was found that the temperature rise time was shortened with the increase of the ultrasonic exposure time. Therefore, it is recommended that ultrasonography to observe the embryo or fetus should be used only for diagnostic purposes, avoiding excessive test time.
