Real-time beam visualization and therapy planning for focused ultrasound therapies using a diagnostic imaging array
Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a non-invasive treatment modality that can produce therapeutic effects in localized regions of tissue through thermal elevations or mechanical stresses caused by an ultrasound wave. Although FUS therapy is effective at treating many different diseases, FUS therapy can be …

Design and testing of an electron cyclotron resonance heating ion source for use in high field compact superconducting cyclotrons
… Proton radiation therapy is a precisely targeted treatment capable of providing an excellent non-invasive treatment option for tumors located deep within tissue. In order to model injection into high field it is necessary to measure the parameters of the beam extracted from the ion source. The two …

Mechanical High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (Histotripsy) in Dogs with Spontaneously Occurring Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Background: Histotripsy is a non-thermal, non-invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablative technique that causes mechanical fragmentation of tissue, resulting in liquefied acellular debris with histologically clear demarcated boundaries between treated and non-treated tissues. The …
