Techniques for focusing ultrasound beams for cancer hyperthermia by using ultrasonic lenses and ceramic radiators are reported. Studies have also been carried out on the noninvasive measurement of temperature using ultrasound for localized tumor therapy. Temperature measurement results for a bone tumor in vitro are presented and discussed.<>
