Abstract
We describe the results of experimental studies of reconstruction of the temperature profiles from heated sources using the method of acoustic thermometry performed with the help of a multichannel scanning acoustic thermotomograph. The sensitivity of an actual system is estimated. The results of laboratory experiments on the localization of heated objects in the medium with absorption and the results of in vivo experiments on the recording of variation of the acoustic-brightness temperature of human extremities in response to an external thermal effect are presented.
