Abstract
when the point lesion is located inside the hollow lesion. Ex vivo ablation experiments showed that the transducer could cause a coagulative necrosis in the pork from the surrounded subcutaneous fat by 5 mm without fat damage. The temperature and region of the pork ablation were quantified by MRI technique. There was no MRI interference from HIFU and vice versa while both systems operated concurrently.
