abstract
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a treatment modality for tumors. To enhance its safety and efficacy, we have developed a cavitation-enhanced HIFU treatment system. This approach utilizes cavitation bubble clouds generated by an extremely high-intensity ultrasound pulse to accelerate tissue heating by ultrasound and also improve ultrasound-based treatment monitoring. This presentation will outline the principles of the cavitation-enhanced HIFU treatment system and describe our recent work on predicting and monitoring the treatment region.
