Apparatus for and methods of acoustic thermometry

Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to thermometry. In one aspect, a method includes applying a first mechanical pulse to an object. The first vibrational response of the object to the first mechanical pulse is recorded. A second mechanical pulse is applied to the object. A second vibrational response of the object to the second mechanical pulse. The second vibrational response is compared to the first vibrational response to determine a change in a temperature in the object.
