In Situ Measurement of Acoustic Attenuation for Focused Ultrasound Ablation Surgery Using a Boiling Bubble at the Focus

Acoustic attenuation in the propagation path of focused ultrasound ablation surgery determines the energy loss toward the focal region and is critical to the consequent treatment outcomes. In situ non-invasive, reliable, and accurate measurement is challenging for multi-layered heterogeneous tissues within the focusing angle.
