Controlled Hyperthermia With High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound and Ultrasound Contrast Agent Microbubbles in Porcine Liver

The objective of this work was to study microbubble-enhanced temperature elevation with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) at different acoustic pressures and under image guidance. The microbubbles were administered with either local or vascular injections (that mimic systemic injections) in perfused and non-perfused ex vivo porcine liver under ultrasound image guidance.
