VALIDATION PLATFORM FOR ULTRASOUND-BASED MONITORING OF THERMAL ABLATION

VALIDATION PLATFORM FOR ULTRASOUND-BASED MONITORING OF THERMAL ABLATION

PURPOSE: Thermal ablation therapy is an emerging local cancer treatment to destroy cancer tissue using heat. However variations in blood flow and energy absorption rates make it extremely challenging to monitor thermal changes. Insufficient ablation may lead to recurrence of the cancer while excessi...
