Potential Strong-hifu-ablation-induced Tissue Damage as Measured by Viscoelastic Characterization of Canine Liver Tissue Post-ablation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has been shown capable of ablating soft tissues in vitro and in vivo. However, mainly due to the lack of knowledge of the exerted radiation force in tissue, mechanical characterization of ablated tissues, particularly at very high HIFU powers, remains largely understudied. This study aims at quantifying the canine liver tissue viscoelastic properties following a wide range of HIFU ablation powers.
