Focus Control in HIFU Therapy Assisted by Time-Reversal Simulation with an Iterative Procedure for Hot Spot Elimination

Both focus control and hot spot elimination applied to the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment are addressed using three-dimensional numerical simulations, which can faithfully capture the pressure field in the HIFU system involving strong heterogeneity in material properties. The hot...
