Diffusion-weighted MRI with deep learning for visualizing treatment results of MR-guided HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: No method is available to determine the non-perfused volume (NPV) repeatedly during magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) ablations of uterine fibroids, as repeated acquisition of contrast-enhanced T1-weigh...

A robotic magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound platform for neonatal neurosurgery: Assessment of targeting accuracy and precision in a brain phantom.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most serious neurovascular complications resulting from premature birth. It can result in clotting of blood within the ventricles, which causes a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid that can lead...

Unsupervised deep learning based approach to temperature monitoring in focused ultrasound treatment.

Ultrasonics
Temperature monitoring in ultrasound (US) imaging is important for various medical treatments, such as high-intensity focused US (HIFU) therapy or hyperthermia. In this work, we present a deep learning based approach to temperature monitoring based o...

Assessment of Collaborative Robot (Cobot)-Assisted Histotripsy for Venous Clot Ablation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The application of bubble-based ablation with the focus ultrasound therapy histotripsy is gaining traction for the treatment of venous thrombosis, among other pathologies. For extensive clot burden, the histotripsy source must be translate...

Analysis of the nonperfused volume ratio of adenomyosis from MRI images based on fewshot learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
The nonperfused volume (NPV) ratio is the key to the success of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation treatment of adenomyosis. However, there are no qualitative interpretation standards for predicting the NPV ratio of adenomyosis using m...

MRI guided focused ultrasound robotic system for animal experiments.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: In this paper an MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) robotic system was developed that can be used for conducting experiments in small animals.The target for this robotic system regarding motion was to move a therapeutic ultrasound tra...

A holistic physics-informed neural network solution for precise destruction of breast tumors using focused ultrasound on a realistic breast model.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE
This study presented a novel approach for the precise ablation of breast tumors using focused ultrasound (FUS), leveraging a physics-informed neural network (PINN) integrated with a realistic breast model. FUS has shown significant promise in treatin...

Safety and feasibility of arterial wall targeting with robot-assisted high intensity focused ultrasound: a preclinical study.

International journal of hyperthermia : the official journal of European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology, North American Hyperthermia Group
PURPOSE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a potential noninvasive thermal ablation method for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. Dual-mode ultrasound arrays (DMUA) offer the possibility of simultaneous imaging and treatment. In th...
