摘要
Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for the real-time guidance of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment at a relatively low cost. However, ultrasound image guided HIFU (USgHIFU) is limited in the real-time monitoring of HIFU treatment due to the large amplitude HIFU signals received by the US imaging transducer. The amplitude of the HIFU scattered signal is generally much higher than the amplitude of the pulse-echo signal received by the imaging transducer. This creates an interference pattern obscuring the image of the tissue. As such, it is difficult to monitor lesion location. This paper proposes a real-time monitoring method to be performed concurrently with the HIFU insonation, but without HIFU interference, which allows for the improvement of treatment accuracy and safety in USgHIFU. The proposed method utilizes the physical properties of pulse inversion which is capable of removing the fundamental and odd harmonic components of the HIFU interference. Therefore, it is possible to secure the desired spectral bandwidth used to construct US images for HIFU treatment monitoring. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated through experiments with both a bovine serum albumin phantom and a chicken breast. The results demonstrated that the proposed method is capable of providing interference-free US images, thus successfully allowing for US imaging during HIFU treatment.
