Treatment of diseased tissue using controlled ultrasonic heating
Rajiv Chopra,Michael Bronskill,Mathieu Burtnyk +2 more
- 09 Mar 2005
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for delivering and controlling thermal therapy to a volume of diseased tissue is presented. But the authors do not specify the specific application of the thermal imaging and other inputs.

Method for MRI-guided conformal thermal therapy of prostate with planar transurethral ultrasound heating applicators.
TL;DR: A temperature feedback control algorithm has been developed to control the frequency, rotation rate and applied power level from transurethral heating applicators based on measurements of the boundary temperature during heating.

Analysis of the spatial and temporal accuracy of heating in the prostate gland using transurethral ultrasound therapy and active MR temperature feedback
Rajiv Chopra,Rajiv Chopra,Kee Tang,Mathieu Burtnyk,Mathieu Burtnyk,Aaron Boyes,Linda Sugar,Sree Appu,Laurence Klotz,Michael Bronskill,Michael Bronskill +10 more
TL;DR: The capability to produce a spatial heating pattern in the prostate that accurately matched the shape of a target region using transurethral ultrasound heating and active MR temperature feedback is evaluated in vivo.

Quantitative analysis of 3-D conformal MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound therapy of the prostate: Theoretical simulations
TL;DR: Numerical simulations predict that MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound therapy is capable of producing highly accurate volumes of thermal coagulation that conform to human prostate glands.
53
Analysis of factors important for transurethral ultrasound prostate heating using MR temperature feedback.
TL;DR: These simulations imply that MR thermometry performed on clinical 1.5 T imaging systems is of sufficient quality for use as thermal feedback for conformal prostate thermal therapy with transurethral ultrasound heating applicators incorporating planar transducers.
