(a) Temperature simulations, with examples of a pressure map P obtained with a hydrophone in free water, Q the volume rate of heat deposition, and T the temperature map, with the temporal series of T during a 400 ms pulse duration. (b) Comparison of thermocouple measurements and TSI estimations with the simulated temperature in phantom. The TSI estimation presented a lower mean error of ±0.03°C versus the thermocouple estimations ±0.24°C, when comparing with the simulated values.
