A Breast-Specific MR Guided Focused Ultrasound Platform and Treatment Protocol: First-in-Human Technical Evaluation

Abstract

The targeting accuracy allows the accurate placement of the focal spot using electronic steering capabilities of the transducer. The use of both volumetric MRTI and MR-ARFI provides complementary treatment planning and monitoring information during the treatment, allowing the treatment of all breast anatomies, including homogeneously fatty breasts.
