A superpixel based self-attention network for uterine fibroid segmentation in high intensity focused ultrasound guidance images.
Scientific reports
Jul 1, 2025
Ultrasound guidance images are widely used for high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy; however, the speckles, acoustic shadows, and signal attenuation in ultrasound guidance images hinder the observation of the images by radiologists and ma...
Machine learning models for prediction of NPVR ≥80% with HIFU ablation for uterine fibroids.
International journal of hyperthermia : the official journal of European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology, North American Hyperthermia Group
Mar 23, 2025
BACKGROUND: Currently high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is widely used to treat uterine fibroids (UFs). The aim of this study is to develop a machine learning model that can accurately predict the efficacy of HIFU ablation for UFs, assisting t...
Spherical lesion formation in HIFU using robotic assistance for controlled focal point manipulation.
Scientific reports
Feb 12, 2025
We propose a robot-assisted method to generate spherical thermal lesions by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. Typically, HIFU-induced thermal lesions are cigar-shaped because the acoustic field in the focal area has a similar elongat...
Model based deep learning method for focused ultrasound pathway scanning.
Scientific reports
Aug 29, 2024
The primary purpose of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a non-invasive medical therapy, is to precisely target and ablate tumors by focusing high-frequency ultrasound from an external power source. A series of ablations must be performed in ...
Predicting the Prognosis of HIFU Ablation of Uterine Fibroids Using a Deep Learning-Based 3D Super-Resolution DWI Radiomics Model: A Multicenter Study.
Academic radiology
Jul 4, 2024
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility and efficacy of a deep learning-based three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) radiomics model in predicting the prognosis of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)...
Development and validation of a deep learning-based method for automatic measurement of uterus, fibroid, and ablated volume in MRI after MR-HIFU treatment of uterine fibroids.
European journal of radiology
Jul 3, 2024
INTRODUCTION: The non-perfused volume divided by total fibroid load (NPV/TFL) is a predictive outcome parameter for MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) treatments of uterine fibroids, which is related to long-term symptom relief. I...
Suppressing the HIFU interference in ultrasound guiding images with a diffusion-based deep learning model.
Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Jun 25, 2024
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In ultrasound guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) surgery, it is necessary to transmit sound waves at different frequencies simultaneously using two transducers: one for the HIFU therapy and another for the ultr...
Development of Convolutional Neural Network to Segment Ultrasound Images of Histotripsy Ablation.
IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
May 20, 2024
OBJECTIVE: Histotripsy is a focused ultrasound therapy that ablates tissue via the action of bubble clouds. It is under investigation to treat a number of ailments, including renal tumors. Ultrasound imaging is used to monitor histotripsy, though the...
Suppressing HIFU interference in ultrasound images using 1D U-Net-based neural networks.
Physics in medicine and biology
Mar 14, 2024
One big challenge with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is that the intense acoustic interference generated by HIFU irradiation overwhelms the B-mode monitoring images, compromising monitoring effectiveness. This study aims to overcome this p...
Review of Robot-Assisted HIFU Therapy.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Apr 3, 2023
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 relies on the thermo-mechanical effects of focused ultrasound waves to ...
