Objective: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy can be used for non-invasive treatment of kidney (renal) cancer, but the clinical outcomes have been variable. In this study, the efficacy of renal HIFU therapy was studied using…
A clinical case study of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment in the uterine fibroid was conducted. During the therapy, poor heating efficacy was observed which could be attributed to several factors such as the local…
Model-based treatment planning and exposimetry for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) requires the numerical simulation of nonlinear ultrasound propagation through heterogeneous and absorbing media. This is a computationally demanding…
MRI-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MRI-HIFU) is a promising method for the non-invasive ablation of pathological tissue in many organs, including mobile organs such as liver and kidney. The possibility to locally deposit thermal…
A toroidal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer was used to expose normal bladder wall tissues non-invasively in vivo in a porcine model in order to investigate the potential to treat bladder tumors. The transducer was…
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising therapy for thermal ablation and hyperthermia, characterised by it noninvasiveness, high penetration depth. Effective HIFU thermo-therapy requires the ability to accurately predict…
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can be used to achieve a local temperature increase deep inside the human body in a non-invasive way. MRI guidance of the procedure allows in situ target definition. In addition, MRI can be used to…
The influences of blood vessels and focused location on temperature distribution during high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of liver tumors is studied. A three-dimensional acoustics-thermal-fluid coupling model is employed to…
In outside the body HIFU treatment that focused ultrasound beams hit severely with cancer tissue layer especially the soft one, at the time of passage of the body different layers as long as they want to reach tumor, put their own way…
Attenuation of ultrasound waves varies with tissue composition, hence its estimation offers great potential for tissue characterization and diagnosis and staging of pathology. We recently proposed a method that allows to spatially…
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive therapy, yet its safety is often degraded by severe acoustic interference during continuous ultrasound guidance. Conventional HIFU interference suppression methods heavily rely on…
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has many applications ranging from thermal ablation of cancer to hemostasis. Although focused ultrasound can seal a bleeding site, physical mechanisms of acoustic hemostasis are not fully understood…
Ultrasound attenuation is caused by absorption and scattering in tissue and is thus a function of tissue composition, hence its imaging offers great potential for screening and differential diagnosis. In this paper we propose a novel method…
Non-invasive therapeutic ultrasound methods, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), have limited access to tissue targets shadowed by bones or presence of gas. This study demonstrates that an ultrasonically actuated medical…
