Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Ultrasound focusing may be improved by combining knowledge of the target tissue and/or focusing arrangement with focus measurements.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for focusing ultrasound into a target tissue using a sonication model, the system comprising: a phased array of ultrasound transducer elements configured to generate an ultrasound focus in the target tissue; an imaging system configured to image the ultrasound focus; and in communication with the imaging system and the phased array of transducer elements, a control facility configured to set relative phases between the transducer elements so as…
