In vivo ultrasound thermal ablation control using echo decorrelation imaging in rabbit liver and VX2 tumor.

The utility of echo decorrelation imaging feedback for real-time control of in vivo ultrasound thermal ablation was assessed in rabbit liver with VX2 tumor. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and unfocused (bulk) ablation were performed using 5 MHz linear image-ablate arrays. Treatments compri...
