Research Abstract

In this study, first, a comparative study of three popular reconstruction algorithms was made to minimize a required number of projections. Second, we measured the sound speed in water at several water temperatures by ultrasonic wave, and obtained the relationship between the sound speed and the temperature of water. Further, we measured the temperature distribution of water, which occupied 90% of a human body, by means of the ultrasonic CT and the thermocouple method. The temperature distribution reconstructed by a CT algorithm was compared with the distribution measured by thermocouple. Finally, we made an experiment on the measurement of temperature distribution in phantom objects made of agar.
We can not conclude exactly the accuracy of temperature distribution in the phantom, because we do not know the true temperature distribution. However, we can estimate from the measurement results of the temperature distribution in water that the accuracy could be approximately 0.1゚C in the homogeneous materials. The ultrasonic CT method in the inhomogeneous materials is required to be investigated further from the view points of the measurement and the calculation.
