HIFU beam localization using Harmonic Motion Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several ultrasound-based imaging modalities have been proposed for image guidance and monitoring of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) surgery. However, accurate localization and characterization of the effective region of treatment (thermal lesion) remain the obstacles in the clinical implementation of HIFU ablation. Harmonic motion imaging for focused ultrasound (HMIFU) is a novel HIFU therapy monitoring method based on radiation-force-induced localized displacement. The capability of relative stiffness mapping has been validated in previous studies. In this study, the induced displacement was utilized to localize the HIFU focal spot inside the tissue prior to treatment.
