title = "Evaluation of the soft tissue Thermal Index and the maximum temperature increase for homogeneous and layered tissues",
abstract = "Theoretical tissue temperature increases due to focused diagnostic ultrasound fields have been evaluated for both homogeneous and three-layer tissue models. Applying the monopole-source solution, the general acoustic pressure field distribution is obtained for a specific source temporal average power. The axial steadystate temperature increase is calculated by applying the point-source solution of the bio-heat transfer equation to the pressure field distribution. Homogenous and threelayer fetal tissue model examples for 3 MHz for circular source apertures are presented and compared to the Thermal Index of the recently approved Standard for Real-Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.",
