Simulation of Image-Guided Microwave Ablation Therapy Using a Digital Twin Computational Model 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Emerging computational tools such as healthcare digital twin modeling are enabling the creation of patient-specific surgical planning, including microwave ablation to treat primary and secondary liver cancers. Healthcare digital twins… read more

Adapting Temperature Predictions to MR Imaging in Treatment Position to Improve Simulation-Guided Hyperthermia for Cervical Cancer
Adapting Temperature Predictions to MR Imaging in Treatment Position to Improve Simulation-Guided Hyperthermia for Cervical Cancer 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Hyperthermia treatment consists of elevating the temperature of the tumor to increase the effectiveness of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Hyperthermia treatment planning (HTP) is an important tool to optimize treatment quality… read more

On the Evaluation of the Hyperthermic Efficiency of Magnetic Scaffolds
On the Evaluation of the Hyperthermic Efficiency of Magnetic Scaffolds 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Goal: Deep-seated tumors (DST) can be treated using thermoseeds exposed to a radiofrequency magnetic field for performing local interstitial hyperthermia treatment (HT). Several research efforts were oriented to the manufacturing… read more

Ultrasound Based Planning and Navigation for Non-Anatomical Liver Resections – An Ex-Vivo Study
Author(s)3: Daniel Candinas, Raluca-Maria Sandu, Federico Storni, Stefan Weber, Gian Andrea Prevost, Iwan Paolucci, Anja Lachenmayer, Luca Sahli
Ultrasound Based Planning and Navigation for Non-Anatomical Liver Resections – An Ex-Vivo Study 820 615 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Non-anatomical resections of liver tumors can be very challenging as the surgeon cannot use anatomical landmarks on the liver surface or in the ultrasound image for guidance. This makes it…
