520 |a Thermal monitoring during focused ultrasound (FUS) transcranial procedures is mandatory and commonly performed by MRI. Transcranial ultrasonic thermal monitoring is an attractive alternative. Furthermore, using the therapeutic FUS transducer itself for this task is highly desirable. Nonetheless, such application is challenged by massive skull-induced signal attenuation and aberrations. This study examined the feasibility of implementing the Golay-coded excitations (CoE) for temperature monitoring in bovine brain samples in the range of 35 °C-43 °C (hyperthermia). Feasibility was assessed using computer simulations, water-based phantoms, and ex vivo bovine brain white-matter samples. The samples were gradually heated to about 45 °C and sonicated during cool down with a 1-MHz therapeutic FUS implementing Golay CoE. Initially, a calibration curve correlating the normalized time-of-flight (TOF) changes and the temperature was generated. Next, a bovine bone was positioned between the FUS and the brain samples, and the scanning process was repeated for different fresh samples. The calibration curve was then used as a mean for estimating the temperature, which was compared to thermocouple measurements. The simulations demonstrated a substantial improvement in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and suggested that the implementation of 4-bit sequences is advantageous. The experimental measurements with bone demonstrated good temperature estimation with an average absolute error for the water phantoms and brains of 1.46 °C ± 1.22 °C and 1.23 °C ± 0.99 °C, respectively. In conclusion, a novel noninvasive method utilizing the Golay CoE for ultrasonic thermal monitoring using a therapeutic FUS transducer is introduced. This method can lead to the development of an acoustic tool for brain thermal monitoring
