Introduction
The target of this study was the development of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible breast phantom for focused ultrasound which includes plastic (ABS) ribs. The objective of the current study was the evaluation of a focused ultrasound procedure using the proposed phantom that eliminates rib heating.
Material and Methods
The proposed phantom was evaluated using two different...
Background
A novel MRI‐conditional robot was developed that navigates a focused ultrasound (FUS) transducer. With this robotic system the transducer can access bones. The intended application is pain palliation from bone cancer using thermal ablation using FUS.
Methods
The robotic system has four computer‐controlled axes (three linear and one angular). The robotic system was manufactured using...
Despite limitations considering the presence, staging and aggressiveness of prostate cancer, ultrasonography (US)‐guided systematic biopsies (SBs) are still the ‘gold standard’ for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Recently, promising results have been published for targeted prostate biopsies (TBs) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (MRI/US)‐fusion platforms. Different platforms...
Imaging has a vital role in cancer diagnosis, staging, assessment of treatment response and detection of recurrence. A variety of imaging methods are available that include morphological methods, the most common being CT scanning and MRI to functional imaging with advanced MRI, SPECT and PET scanning. This chapter introduces these methods in brief, followed by a discussion on the role of imaging in...
