An intraoperative brain shift monitor using shear mode transcranial ultrasound: preliminary results. Left: Detail of an oblique MRI scan (SE T1, TR = 650 ms, TE = 10 ms, FOV = 12.0 cm × 12.0 cm, slice thickness = 3.0 mm) that has been registered with the ITUM's signal path (solid line) through the ICSF (arrow). Right: Results of the statistical analysis to validate the ability of the ITUM to localize intracranial structures against the "gold standard" of MR imaging. The location of intracranial structures as measured by the ITUM is plotted against the same measurement performed by MRI. Read more here.

Evaluation of referenceless thermometry in MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery of uterine fibroids. Referenceless thermometry method. For each sonication, two ROI were defined in the phase maps: one containing the heated zone and a second one surrounding it. This example used coronal imaging (perpendicular to the direction of the ultrasound beam in the focal plane). Read more here.
