(Boston University, 2010)High-intensity focused ultrasound is a form of therapeutic ultrasound which uses high amplitude acoustic waves to heat and ablate tissue. HIFU employs acoustic amplitudes that are high enough that nonlinear propagation ...

(Boston University, 2012)Malignant or benign tumors may be ablated with high‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). This technique, known as focused ultrasound surgery (FUS), has been actively investigated for decades, but slow to be implemented and ...
-
(Boston University, 2002)High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can be used to control bleeding, both from individual blood vessels as well as from gross damage to the capillary bed. This process, called acoustic hemostasis, is being studied ...

IDENTIFYING AND MONITORING THE ROLES OF CAVITATION IN HEATING FROM HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND(Boston University, 2007)For high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to continue to gain acceptance for cancer treatment it is necessary to understand how the applied ultrasound interacts with gas trapped in the tissue. The presence of bubbles ...
-
(2010-11-10)The deposition of ultrasonic energy in tissue can cause tissue damage due to local heating. For pressures above a critical threshold, cavitation will occur in tissue and bubbles will be created. These oscillating bubbles ...
-
(University of Washington at Seattle, 1999)This dissertation describes a model for acoustic propagation in inhomogeneous flu- ids, and explores the focusing by arrays onto targets under various conditions. The work explores the use of arrays, in particular the time ...

THE ROLE OF ACOUSTIC CAVITATION IN ENHANCED ULTRASOUND-INDUCED HEATING IN A TISSUE-MIMICKING PHANTOM(Boston University, 2001)A complete understanding of high-intensity focused ultrasound-induced temperature changes in tissue requires insight into all potential mechanisms for heat deposition. Applications of therapeutic ultrasound often utilize ...
