A breast-specific MR guided focused ultrasound platform and treatment protocol: first-in-human technical evaluationhttps://www.embs.org/tbme/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2021/02/TBME-00215-2020-Highlight-Summary.gif176170IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)//www.embs.org/tbme/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2022/06/ieee-tbme-logo2x.png
Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers among women. The development of novel technology for minimally-invasive treatments will provide important new treatment options for many breast cancer patients. This work presents a breast-specific magnetic resonance (MR) guided focused ultrasound system for the treatment of localized breast tumors. The unique design of the system allows for high quality MR images for treatment planning and assessment, target accuracy determination with volumetric magnetic resonance-acoustic radiation force imaging, and real time treatment monitoring with magnetic resonance thermometry. Technical specification for the system are provided as well as preliminary results from a first-in-human clinical trial.

A multiscale agent-based model of ductal carcinoma in situhttps://www.embs.org/tbme/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2020/04/TBME-00971-2019-Highlight-Image.gif170176IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)//www.embs.org/tbme/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2022/06/ieee-tbme-logo2x.png
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the United States, and about 17% of these occur within the mammary gland duct, known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). We have developed a multiscale, lattice-free agent-based model of DCIS, incorporating both molecular and cellular scales, to study how phenotypic and signaling changes influence the key early stages of disease development. By simulating the effects of bidirectional feedback between these scales, we have gained valuable insights into how this complex interplay affects disease progression, and have identified key processes that may be optimal prognostic indicators of future disease advancement.
