Dosimetry implications for correct ultrasound dose deposition: uncertainties in descriptors, planning and treatment delivery
Characteristics of focused ultrasound beam
Abstract
A discursive review of the fundamental requirements for ultrasound (US) treatment delivery in the context of the required dose is presented. The key components discussed are the acoustic, thermal and dose equations and their numerical solutions, the preoperative imaging modalities used, tissue characterisation, motion compensation and treatment planning strategies and how each component affects the others.
