Computer-Aided Intra-Operatory Positioning of an MRgHIFU Applicator Dedicated to Abdominal Thermal Therapy Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Computer-Aided Intra-Operatory Positioning of an MRgHIFU Applicator Dedicated to Abdominal Thermal Therapy Using Particle Swarm Optimization 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Purpose: Transducer positioning for liver ablation by magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) is challenging due to the presence of air-filled organs or bones on the beam path. This paper… read more

A strategy for the in-silico assessment of drug eluting stents: A comparative study for the evaluation of Retinoic Acid as a novel drug candidate for drug eluting stents

A strategy for the in-silico assessment of drug eluting stents: A comparative study for the evaluation of Retinoic Acid as a novel drug candidate for drug eluting stents 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
In this work, a methodology for the in-silico evaluation of drug eluting stents (DES) is presented. A stent model developed by Rontis S.A. has been employed. For modeling purposes two… read more

Treatment Planning Strategies for Interstitial Ultrasound Ablation of Prostate Cancer 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Purpose: To develop patient-specific 3D models using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations and pre-treatment planning tools for the selective thermal ablation of prostate cancer with interstitial ultrasound. This involves the integration… read more

Ultrasound Based Planning and Navigation for Non-Anatomical Liver Resections – An Ex-Vivo Study

Author(s)3: Daniel Candinas, Raluca-Maria Sandu, Federico Storni, Stefan Weber, Gian Andrea Prevost, Iwan Paolucci, Anja Lachenmayer, Luca Sahli
Ultrasound Based Planning and Navigation for Non-Anatomical Liver Resections – An Ex-Vivo Study 820 615 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Non-anatomical resections of liver tumors can be very challenging as the surgeon cannot use anatomical landmarks on the liver surface or in the ultrasound image for guidance. This makes it…
