Photon-counting CT thermometry via material decomposition and machine learning [PDF]
Vis. Comput. Ind. Biomed. Art 6, 2 (2023), 2022 Thermal ablation procedures, such as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), are often used to eliminate tumors by minimally invasively heating a focal region. For this task, real-time 3D temperature visualization is key to target the diseased tissues while minimizing damage to the surroundings.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation by the Dual-Frequency Excitation
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2019 High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has emerged as an effective and noninvasive therapeutic modality for cancer and solid tumor. Despite its promising clinical outcomes and the approval of the Food and Drug Administration of many countries, the ablation time of a large target is long, so enhancement of the lesion production is highly desired.
