Intracorporeal needle-based therapeutic ultrasound (NBTU) is a minimally invasive option for intervening in malignant brain tumors, commonly used in thermal ablation procedures. This technique is suitable for both primary and metastatic…
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…
Purpose: Radio-frequency ablations play an important role in the therapy of malignant liver lesions. The navigation of a needle to the lesion poses a challenge for both the trainees and intervening physicians. Methods: This publication…
A holistic simulation framework is established on magnetic hyperthermia modeling to solve the treatment process of tumor, which is surrounded by a healthy tissue block. The interstitial tissue fluid, MNP distribution, temperature profile,…
CT image-guided thermal ablation is widely used for lung cancer treatment; however, follow-up data indicate that physicians' subjective assessments of intraoperative images often overestimate the ablation effect, potentially leading to…
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a widely used minimally invasive technique for ablating solid tumors. Achieving precise personalized treatment necessitates feedback information on in situ thermal effects induced by the RFA procedure. While…
We propose a novel, simple and effective method to integrate lesion prior and a 3D U-Net for improving brain tumor segmentation. First, we utilize the ground-truth brain tumor lesions from a group of patients to generate the heatmaps of…
This work explored an element-wise approach to model transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound (TcMRgFUS) thermal ablation, a noninvasive approach to neurosurgery. Each element of the phased array transducer was simulated individually and…
During laser and ultrasound thermotherapy it is always desirable to have a precise necrosis of deeply seated tumor preserving the adjoining healthy tissue with minimum thermally induced nociceptive pain sensation to the patient. The aim of…
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising treatment modality for the non-invasive ablation of pathogenic tissue in many organs. Optimal treatment planning strategies based on high-performance computing methods are expected to…
The efficiency of deep machine learning for automatic delineation of tumor areas has been demonstrated for intraoperative neuronavigation using active IR-mapping with the use of the cold test. The proposed approach employs a matrix…
Objective: In this review, we aim to provide an analysis of current cardiac ablation techniques, such as radiofrequency ablation (RF), cryoablation, and pulsed-field ablation (PFA), with a focus on the role of computational modeling in…
Background: Needle-based procedures such as fine needle aspiration (FNA) and thermal ablation, are often applied for thyroid nodule diagnosis and therapeutic purposes, respectively. With blood vessels and nerves nearby, these procedures can…
Percutaneous thermal ablation is a minimally-invasive treatment option for renal cancer. To treat larger tumours, multiple overlapping ablations zones are required. Arrangements with a low number of ablation zones but coverage of the whole…
Hyperthermia therapy (HT) is used to treat diseases through heating of high temperature usually in conjunction with some other medical therapeutics like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, we propose a promising thermostatic…
Heat-based cancer treatment, so-called hyperthermia, can be used to destroy tumour cells directly or to make them more susceptible to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. To apply heat locally, iron oxide nanoparticles are injected into the…
This paper describes the use of the corotational cut Finite Element Method (FEM) for real-time surgical simulation. Users only need to provide a background mesh which is not necessarily conforming to the boundaries/interfaces of the…
Conventional breast cancer imaging techniques are nowadays based on the use of ionising radiations or ultrasound waves for the inspection of breast areas. Nevertheless, these conventional techniques present some drawbacks related to patient…
Over the past decades, thermal ablation procedures such as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) have been developed vaporize cancerous tissues in a focal area. Thermal ablation has the potential to non-invasively eliminate tumors and…
Current interstitial techniques of tumor ablation face challenges that ultrasound technologies could meet. The ablation radius and directionality of the ultrasound beam could improve the efficiency and precision. Here, a 9gauge…
