Abstract
Tests with mice show that lung tissue is not selectively heated in comparison with other soft tissues and that lung has an efficient mechanism for dissipating that heat which is produced. Temperatures measured with a fine thermocouple placed at the outer surface of the mouse lung show approximately 1 degree C total rise in temperature in the living animal for an incident intensity of 1 W/cm2 (4 MHz, unfocused sound field).
