INTEGRATED MR AND HIFU CONTROL SYSTEM: REAL TIME TREATMENT OF THE LIVER

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 腹部的高强度聚焦超声（HIFU）是一项复杂的奋进，需要对超声的运动进行集成的真实的时间控制。 MRI成像和HIFU换能器。 去年，我们证明了我们能够在一个 真实的时间环境，在体内加热体模和家兔大腿。 今年，我们开发并测试了 体内肝脏消融的关键能力。 要了解卢卡斯中心正在进行的其他项目，请访问http://rsl.stanford.edu/ （卢卡斯年度报告和 ISMRM 2011摘要）

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) of the abdomen is a complex endeavor requiring integrated real time control of MRI imaging and the HIFU transducer. Last year we demonstrated our ability to define arbitrary treatment profiles in a real time environment, heating both a phantom and rabbit thigh in-vivo. This year we developed and tested additional capabilities critical for in vivo liver ablation.
