Abstract
In our previous papers (Karagoz and Kartal 2005; 2006), we calculated the residual temperature rise (RTR) at the focus of a transducer by assuming that the uniform temperature field occurs at the end of the first ultrasound examination to obtain worst-case temperature rise. After all, Lubbers (2006) theoretically proposed that there is no need to consider the effect of residual temperature rise for the case of a single stationary transducer. Although Lubbers (2006) superimposed the effects of several heat sources to calculate the temperature rise, experimental results obtained by Horder et al.
