US-tracked steered FUS in a respiratory ex vivo ovine liver phantom

Organ motion is a major problem for Focused Ultrasound Surgery (FUS) of liver tumors. We present a liver phantom mimicking human respiratory motion (20 mm range, 3 − 7 s/cycle) and the evaluation of an ultrasound-tracked steered FUS system on that phantom. Temperature curves are recorded while sonic...
