| Inventor(s) | Acker; David E. (Setauket, NY), Wagshul; Mark (Patchogue, NY) |
| Abstract | Magnetic resonance information acquired by a movable magnetic resonance
instrument is used to monitor hyperthermia treatments such as tissue
ablation. The instrument may include both the magnetic resonance equipment
and an energy applicator such as a high intensity focused ultrasound unit.
The treatment can be conducted under automatic control after the operator
marks a treatment volume on an image of the subject, such as a magnetic
resonance image acquired using the movable magnetic resonance instrument.
The automatic treatment can be based on interpolation of tissue response
curves at plural test points near the treatment volume. The system can
also provide automatic supervisory control during manual operation, to
prevent application of heat to sensitive anatomical structures. |
