Abstract

The results of an acoustothermometric study of the human hand under local hyperthermia and hypothermia are presented. Individuals under testing plunged their hands in hot or cold water for several minutes. Thermal acoustic radiation was detected by two sensors placed near the palm and near the backside of the tested hand. The internal temperature profiles of the hand were reconstructed. The indirect estimate of the reconstruction error was 0.6°C, which is acceptable for medical applications. Hyperthermia was achieved by placing the hand in water with a maximal temperature of 44°C for 2 min. In this case, the internal temperature was 35.4 ± 0.6°C. Hypothermia was achieved by placing the hand in water with a temperature of 17.8°C for 15 min. In this case, the internal temperature decreased from 26 to 24°C. The use of a four-sensor planar receiving array allowed dynamic mapping of the acoustic brightness temperature of the hand.
