Abstract
Baseline changes in optical properties have been previously measured as a function of thermal-dose for tissues exposed to a temperature-controlled water bath (doi:10.1088/0031-9155/59/13/3249). In this work, the wavelength-dependent optical scattering and absorption of ex vivo tissues exposed to HIFU is measured using an integrating sphere spectrophotometric technique employed previously. HIFU-induced spatiotemporal temperature elevations are measured using an infrared camera and used to calculate the thermal dose delivered to a localized region of tissue. We consider the impact of thermal dose, temperature elevation, and heating rate on the formation of HIFU lesions and the resulting changes in tissue optical properties.
