Enhanced Lesion‐to‐Bubble Ratio on Ultrasonic Nakagami Imaging for Monitoring of High‐Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Abstract

This preliminary study on a tissue-mimicking phantom suggests that Nakagami imaging may have a potential use in enhancing the lesion-to-bubble ratio for monitoring high-intensity focused US. Further studies in vivo and in vitro will be needed to evaluate the potential applications for high-intensity focused US.
