MRI-guided HIFU Methods for the Ablation of Liver and Renal Cancers [PDF]

Therapeutic Ultrasound, 2016, 2020
MRI-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MRI-HIFU) is a promising method for the non-invasive ablation of pathological tissue in many organs, including mobile organs such as liver and kidney. The possibility to locally deposit thermal energy in a non-invasive way opens a path towards new therapeutic strategies with improved reliability and reduced

The effect of temperature dependent tissue parameters on acoustic radiation force induced displacements [PDF]

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 61(20), p.7427 (2016), 2016
Multiple ultrasound elastography techniques rely on acoustic radiation force (ARF) in monitoring high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy. However, ARF is dependent on tissue attenuation and sound speed, both of which are also known to change with temperature making the therapy monitoring more challenging.

Enhanced discovery of bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase through computer simulation and metagenomic analysis of industrial wastewater

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We obtained potential bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase (LMCO) sequences through metagenomic sequencing. All sequences exhibited significant differences from known LMCOs in databases. To select the most promising candidates, we performed structure prediction and molecular docking using alphafold2, metal3d and rosetta.

In vivo exposure of the bladder using a non-invasive high intensity focused ultrasound toroidal transducer [PDF]

Ultrasonics, 2024, 138, pp.107239
A toroidal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer was used to expose normal bladder wall tissues non-invasively in vivo in a porcine model in order to investigate the potential to treat bladder tumors. The transducer was divided into 32 concentric rings with equal surface areas, operating at 2.5 MHz.
