Full modeling of high-intensity focused ultrasound and thermal heating in the kidney using realistic patient models
OBJECTIVE:High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy can be used for noninvasive treatment of kidney (renal) cancer, but the clinical outcomes have been variable. In this study, the efficacy of renal HIFU therapy was studied using a nonlinear acoustic and thermal simulations in three patients....
