    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address challenges in temperature measurement during electromagnetic hyperthermia.
    • To present suggestions for improving accuracy and resolution in temperature monitoring.
    • To introduce a novel noninvasive approach for internal tissue temperature mapping.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of accuracy and resolution considerations for temperature measurement.
    • Analysis of errors associated with metallic thermometers in electromagnetic fields.
    • Development and discussion of alternative sensing technologies, including optical-fiber probes.
    • Introduction of ultrasound-computed tomography as a noninvasive temperature mapping technique.

    Main Results:

    • Identified significant errors in conventional thermometers during electromagnetic hyperthermia.
    • Highlighted the limitations of existing alternative methods.
    • Demonstrated the potential of ultrasound-computed tomography for noninvasive temperature mapping based on the temperature-dependent speed of sound.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate temperature monitoring in hyperthermia requires specialized techniques, especially with electromagnetic heating.
    • Optical-fiber probes and ultrasound-computed tomography offer promising alternatives to overcome conventional thermometer limitations.
    • Ultrasound-computed tomography presents a novel noninvasive method for real-time internal temperature mapping in hyperthermia procedures.
