Treatments using high-intensity focused ultrasound
(HIFU) in the abdominal region remain challenging due to
respiratory organ motion. Various methods have been
attempted in the past to achieve motion-compensated HIFU
therapy, using ultrasound (US) imaging, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), or both simultaneously. Here, a
truly hybrid US-MRI guided HIFU (US-MRgHIFU) method was
used to plan and control the treatment in vivo. 3D
prospective motion correction was implemented at a frame
rate of 15Hz on pig liver and kidney. An absolute target
was used to demonstrate the spatial accuracy of the
method, which was found to be in the sub-millimeter
range.
