A robotic approach to HIFU based neurosurgery [PDF]

, 1998
The use of robotics in surgical interventions not only has the potential for minimally invasive surgical procedures but can improve performance and result in reduced operative time and post-operative trauma/recovery. This paper describes the concept of a robotic based High Intensity Focused Ultrasound system as a neuro-surgical tool for the destruction

The Localized Elasticity Measurement for Coagulation Detection during HIFU Therapy [PDF]

, 2013
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment is one of minimally invasive treatment methods for cancer. To control a beam position and dose amount of HIFU, visualizing inside of the body during treatment is essentially required. Our objective is to

Numerical study of circular ablations using HIFU for atrial fibrillation

, 2019
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia of the heart, originating usually from ectopic atrial activity of the pulmonary veins. It is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, occurring in 1–2% of the general population.
