Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Image-Guided Micro-Histotripsy for Non-Invasive Surgery

Abstract

Histotripsy is a powerful precision tool for non-invasive, non-ionizing treatment of tumors, but suffers risk of damage to vasculature under poor visualization. Photoacoustic-guided histotripsy allows for visualization and avoidance of major vasculature and hemorrhage monitoring.
