Aberration correction in abdominal histotripsy
E Yeats, TL Hall - International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
In transabdominal histotripsy, ultrasound pulses are focused into the body to noninvasively
destroy soft tissues via cavitation. However, the ability to focus is limited by phase …
