| Abstract: | When a focused Gaussian ultrasonic beam in soft tissue normally impinges on the boundary of a contiguous bone, reflection and transmission occur. Taking account of the reflection, the steady-state temperature elevation along the beam axis for this case was calculated. The effect of perfusion is also included. |
