Estimating a parametric model of temperature distribution from an ultrasound image sequence during HIFU therapy

This paper presents a novel method to estimate a parametric model of temperature distribution from a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound sequence using a Kalman filter approach. The Kalman filter enables an initial temperature map, derived from (say) the echo-strain method, to not only be smoothed alo...
