摘要： In some examples, a system includes one or more ultrasound transducers, one or more temperature sensors, a user interface, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to control the one or more ultrasound transducers to deliver ultrasound to a target point of tissue of a patient to heat the target point of tissue, control the one or more temperature sensors to sense a temperature of other tissue of the patient proximate to the target point of tissue a plurality of times over a period of time after the target point of tissue has been heated, and present, via the user interface, information indicating flow of heat from the target point of tissue to the other tissue over the period of time based on the sensed temperatures to facilitate characterization of at least one of anatomy or function of the tissue.
