Clinical trials have shown that hyperthermia (HT), ie an increase of tissue temperature to 39–
44° C, significantly enhance radiotherapy and chemotherapy effectiveness [1]. Driven by the …

This paper reviews ultrasound imaging methods for the guidance of therapeutic focused
ultrasound (USgFUS), with emphasis on real-time preclinical methods. Guidance is …

The phenomenon of irregular frequencies or spurious modes when solving the Kirchhoff–
Helmholtz integral equation has been extensively studied over the last six or seven …

Abstract MRI-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MRI-HIFU) is a promising method
for the non-invasive ablation of pathological tissue in many organs, including mobile organs …

Accurately representing the behavior of acoustic sources is an important part of ultrasound
simulation. This is particularly challenging in ultrasound therapy where multielement arrays …

A forward model, which predicts the scattering by human ribs of a multi-element high-
intensity focused ultrasound transducer, was used to investigate the efficacy of a range of …

The goal of this study was to investigate theoretically the effects of nonlinear propagation in
a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) field produced by a therapeutic phased array and …

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) techniques are promising modalities for the non-
invasive treatment of cancer. For HIFU therapies of, eg, liver cancer, one of the main …

This chapter presents the application of the boundary element method to high-frequency
Helmholtz problems in unbounded domains. Based on a standard combined integral …

Objective: To design and simulate the performance of two spine-specific phased arrays in
sonicating targets spanning the thoracic spine, with the objective of efficiently producing …
