This paper provides an overview of current robot-assisted high-intensity focused ultrasound
(HIFU) systems for image-guided therapies. HIFU is a minimally invasive technique that …

Materials with tailored acoustic properties are of great interest for both the development of
tissue-mimicking phantoms for ultrasound tests and smart scaffolds for ultrasound mediated …

Standard industrial robotic manipulators use well-established high performing technologies.
However, such manipulators do not guarantee a safe Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) …

Background Although high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising technology for
tumor treatment, a moving abdominal target is still a challenge in current HIFU systems. In …

Background High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) represents a non-invasive method for
the destruction of cancerous tissue within the body. Heating of targeted tissue by focused …

Focused Ultrasound Therapy Using Robotic Approaches (FUTURA) is a European seventh
research framework programme project aimed at creating an innovative platform for …

While technologies such as cryo-or radio-frequency ablation allow for less invasive
treatment of tumors than re-section, they still require needles to reach the target location with …

In Ultrasound-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (USgHIFU) surgery, the verification
of the acoustic coupling correctness between the HIFU transducer and the patient's body is a …

Therapeutic Ultrasound is an exponentially growing field of research, that has the potential
to transform the treatment of many medical disorders by using ultrasonic energy to precisely …

抄録 Ultrasound-based diagnoses' quality depends on the physician's skill in handling the
probe, which can be affected by patient respiratory motions. To address this, a diagnostic …
