In Vivo results show the potential of a new breast-specific magnetic resonance guided high intensity focused ultrasound system to treat and manage breast cancer. The system comprised of a laterally-shooting phased array transducer with an integrated 11-channel RF-coil system was evaluated in an in vivo rabbit model. The presented results show the volumetric thermal dose accumulated in the ablated tissue with accompanying post-treatment T2w images and gross histology results.
