Modeling of Interstitial Ultrasound Ablation for Continuous Applicator Rotation with MR Validation.

The primary objective of cancer intervention is the selective removal of malignant cells while conserving surrounding healthy tissues. However, the accessibility, size and shape of the cancer can make achieving appropriate margins a challenge. One minimally invasive treatment option for these clinical cases is interstitial needle based therapeutic ultrasound (NBTU). In this work, we develop a fini...
