Respiration based steering for high intensity focused ultrasound liver ablation [PDF]
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2013 PurposeRespiratory motion makes hepatic ablation using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFO) challenging. Previous HIFU liver treatment had required apnea induced during general anesthesia. We describe and test a system that allows treatment of the liver in the presence of breathing motion.MethodsMapping a signal from an external respiratory bellow ...
