The feasibility of using thermal strain imaging to regulate energy delivery during intracardiac radio-frequency ablation

A method is introduced to monitor cardiac ablative therapy by examining slope changes in the thermal strain curve caused by speed of sound variations with temperature. The sound speed of water-bearing tissue such as cardiac muscle increases with temperature. However, at temperatures above about 50°C...
