Computer-Aided Intra-Operatory Positioning of an MRgHIFU Applicator Dedicated to Abdominal Thermal Therapy Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Computer-Aided Intra-Operatory Positioning of an MRgHIFU Applicator Dedicated to Abdominal Thermal Therapy Using Particle Swarm Optimization 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Purpose: Transducer positioning for liver ablation by magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) is challenging due to the presence of air-filled organs or bones on the beam path. This paper… read more

Treatment Planning Strategies for Interstitial Ultrasound Ablation of Prostate Cancer

Treatment Planning Strategies for Interstitial Ultrasound Ablation of Prostate Cancer 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Purpose: To develop patient-specific 3D models using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations and pre-treatment planning tools for the selective thermal ablation of prostate cancer with interstitial ultrasound. This involves the integration… read more
