Full modelling of high-intensity focused ultrasound and thermal heating in the kidney using realistic patient models
Visa Suomi, Jiri Jaros, Bradley Treeby +1
Objective: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy can be used for non-invasive treatment of kidney (renal) cancer, but the clinical outcomes have been variable. In this s…
The effect of temperature dependent tissue parameters on acoustic radiation force induced displacements
Visa Suomi, Yang Han, Elisa Konofagou +1
Multiple ultrasound elastography techniques rely on acoustic radiation force (ARF) in monitoring high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy. However, ARF is dependent on tiss…
Optical quantification of harmonic acoustic radiation force excitation in a tissue-mimicking phantom
Visa Suomi, David Edwards, Robin Cleveland
Optical tracking was used to characterize acoustic radiation force (ARF) induced displacements in a tissue-mimicking phantom. Amplitude modulated (AM) 3.3 MHz ultrasound was used t…
Nonlinear 3-D simulation of high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy in the kidney
Visa Suomi, Jiri Jaros, Bradley Treeby +1
Kidney cancer is a severe disease which can be treated non-invasively using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy. However, tissue in front of the transducer and the dee…
