Title
Focus shift and phase correction in soft tissues during focused ultrasound surgery.
Abstract
During the treatment of soft tissue tumors using focused ultrasound surgery (FUS), the focus can shift away from the desired point due to tissue inhomogeneity. In this paper, a numerical method to calculate the focus shift in multiple-layered tissues and a faster phase-correction method to restore the focus were developed. Data from the simulations showed that the focus shifted about 2 mm along th...
