Segmentation Method for Magnetic Resonance-Guided High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Therapy Planning
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a minimally invasive therapy modality in which ultrasound beams are concentrated at a focal region, producing a rise of temperature and selective ablation within the focal volume and leaving surrounding tissues intact. HIFU has been proposed for the safe a...
