35th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology

Introduction to Focused Ultrasound for ablation and hyperthermia

The workshop provides an introduction to therapeutic ultrasound in medicine with three lectures and two hands on lab sessions. The lectures give an introduces the three modes of action, namely thermal ablation, hyperthermia, and histotripsy as well as characterization of ultrasound fields and MR-based thermometry. In particular, the function and work of the clinical Sonalleve&reg; MR-HIFU system will be explained and demonstrated. In two parallel lab sessions, participants will have the opportunity to atttend a demonstration of MR-guided HIFU system and learn more about ultrasound field characterization methods.
Location:
University Hospital of Cologne Kerpener Str. 62 50937 Cologne Building 70 (CIO building), Seminar room 3&amp;4
