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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
