Minimally invasive treatment of cirrhotic secondary hypersplenism with high-intensity focused ultrasound

Scientific Reports, 2022
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been reported to be a minimally invasive effective method for the treatment of secondary hypersplenism. However, neither the short-term efficacy nor the indications and/or contraindications have been described

Accelerated focused ultrasound imaging [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 2009
One of the most basic trade-offs in ultrasound imaging involves frame rate, depth, and number of lines. Achieving good spatial resolution and coverage requires a large number of lines, leading to decreases in frame rate. An even more serious imaging challenge occurs with imaging modes involving spatial compounding and 3-D/4-D imaging, which are ...
