Histotripsy: a method for mechanical tissue ablation with ultrasound
Histotripsy is a relatively new therapeutic ultrasound technology to mechanically liquefy
tissue into subcellular debris using high-amplitude focused ultrasound pulses. In contrast to …

Effects of phase aberration on transabdominal focusing for a large aperture, low f-number histotripsy transducer
Objective. Soft tissue phase aberration may be particularly severe for histotripsy due to large
aperture and low f-number transducer geometries. This study investigated how phase …

Soft tissue aberration correction for histotripsy using acoustic emissions from cavitation cloud nucleation and collapse
Objective Phase aberration from soft tissue limits the efficacy of histotripsy, a therapeutic
ultrasound technique based on acoustic cavitation. Previous work has shown that the …
