Focused ultrasound holds promise in a large number of therapeutic applications. It has long
been known that high intensity focused ultrasound can kill tissue through coagulative …

Low pressure histotripsy is likely to facilitate current treatments that require extremely high
pressures. An ultrasound guided focused ultrasound system was designed to accommodate …

A 1.5 MHz prolate spheroidal therapeutic array with 128 circular elements was designed to
accommodate standard imaging arrays for ultrasonic image-guided hyperthermia. The …

An optical spectroscopy approach is demonstrated allowing for critical parameters during RF
ablation of cardiac tissue to be evaluated in real time. The method is based on incorporating …

The potential of using a commercial ultrasound transmission imaging system to
quantitatively monitor tissue attenuation changes after thermal therapy was investigated …

We demonstrate that high-frequency and high-intensity ultrasound (US) can be applied to
both tissue fixation and tissue processing to complete the conventional overnight formalin …

Microwave ablation therapy has become an important method for tumor treatment in recent
years. The temperature and the coagulation region need real-time noninvasive monitoring to …

Thermal imaging measurements using ultrasound phase contrast have been performed in
tissue phantoms heated with a focused ultrasound source. Back projection and reflex …

We present a new ultrasound technique for registering localized temperature changes in soft
tissues. Conversely, small temperature changes may be induced in order to image tissue …

The use of an ultrasound (US) transmission imaging system to monitor attenuation changes
during tissue heating was investigated. This work presents preliminary results of images …
