A moveable surface coil fabrication for MR-guided HIFU ablation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and methods A movable circle surface coils with a low input impedance preamplifier were made to connect the receive system of a 1.5T MRI scanner (Symphony, Siemens). The coil was moved together with the HIFU transducer during the HIFU ablation. The dynamic temperature images during HIFU ablation of porcine meat and living mini-pig leg were measured by this home-made coil. MR temperature measurements were calculated based on proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift method. A spoiled gradient echo sequence was applied for temperature mapping (TR = 13ms, TE = 7 ms, flip angle = 30 deg, matrix 128x128, FOV= 256 x 256 mm, slice thickness = 8 mm).

Optimization of a four-coil array arrangement for brain therapy by MR-guided transcranial focused ultrasounds
A particularly critical issue for brain therapy with transcranial high-power focused ultrasound (HIFU) is to optimize the accuracy and rapidity of the temperature follow-up during the heating. MRI is a well-suited candidate for temperature monitoring since it offers several parameters such as the proton resonance frequency shift. Up-to-now, temperature scans were achieved using the standard bod...
