Numerical Study on the Possible Scanning Pathways to Optimize Thermal Impacts During Multiple Sonication of HIFU

Findings from numerical investigation of thermal aspects of tissue phantoms subjected to high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) during the process of multiple sonications have been presented. Various scanning pathways are chosen to deliver the acoustic energy and to place multiple lesions at the desired locations within the tissue. A new scanning method based on the calculation of the largest di...
