To demonstrate the feasibility of volumetric hyperthermia in the system, a tissue-mimicking phantom was sonicated with two distinct spots through mechanical transducer movement and sector-vortex beamforming. During hyperthermia, the average values of Tmax, T10, Tavg, T90, and Tmin over 200 s were measured within a circular ROI with a diameter of 10 pixels. These values were found to be 8.6, 7.9, 6.6, 5.2, and 4.5 °C, respectively, compared to the baseline temperature.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study demonstrated the volumetric hyperthermia capabilities of the ExAblate Body system. The simulation framework developed in this study allowed for the evaluation of hyperthermia characteristics that could be implemented with the ExAblate MRgFUS system.</p>","PeriodicalId":14137,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hyperthermia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11135290/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140869288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
