Only one high-intensity focused ultrasound device has been clinically approved for
transcranial brain surgery at the time of writing. The device operates within 650 and 720 kHz …

Without considering intrinsic attenuation, reverse time migration (RTM) of data from lossy
media produces smeared migration images because of the Q effects (amplitude loss and …

The use of wirelessly internetworked miniaturized biomedical devices is promising a
significant leap forward in medical treatment of many pervasive diseases. Recognizing the …

We report on results from the comparison of two algorithms designed to estimate the
attenuation coefficient from ultrasonic B-mode scans obtained from a numerical phantom …

The phase correction necessary for transcranial ultrasound therapy requires numerical
simulation to noninvasively assess the phase shift induced by the skull bone. Ideally, the …

Purpose Three‐dimensional in‐vivo dose verification is one of the standing challenges in
radiation therapy. X‐ray‐induced acoustic tomography has recently been proposed as an …

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applications for thermal or mechanical ablation of
renal tumors often encounter challenges due to significant beam aberration and refraction …

The acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) has been widely used in transient shear wave
elasticity imaging (SWEI). For SWEI based on focused ARFI, the highest image quality exists …

Measurement of mechanical properties of thin-layered tissues has broad applications in the
diagnosis of several pathologies. Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) measures the …

Accurate knowledge of the exact stop** location of ions inside the patient would allow full
exploitation of their ballistic properties for patient treatment. The localized energy deposition …
