Endobronchial high-intensity ultrasound for thermal therapy of pulmonary malignancies: simulations with patient-specific lung models

Endobronchial high-intensity ultrasound for thermal therapy of pulmonary malignancies: simulations with patient-specific lung models

Objective: This study investigates the feasibility of endobronchial ultrasound applicators for thermal ablation of lung tumors using acoustic and biothermal simulations. Methods: Endobronchial ultrasound applicators with planar (10 mm width) or tubular transducers (6 mm outer diameter (OD)) encapsul...
