Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive estimation of tissue temperature response to heating fields using diagnostic ultrasound
R. Seip,Emad S. Ebbini +1 more
TL;DR: A noninvasive technique for monitoring tissue temperature changes due to heating fields using diagnostic ultrasound is described, based on the discrete scattering model used in the tissue characterization literature and the observation that most biological tissues are semi-regular scattering lattices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-dimensional temperature estimation using diagnostic ultrasound
TL;DR: A two-dimensional temperature estimation method was developed based on the detection of shifts in echo location of backscattered ultrasound from a region of tissue undergoing thermal therapy, and the axial derivative of the accumulated echo shifts is shown to be proportional to the temperature rise.
PatentDOI
Phased array ultrasound system and method for cardiac ablation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an ultrasound system and method for performing relatively non-invasive cardiac ablation on a patient, which includes a plurality of ultrasound transducers forming a phased array that is to be located externally of the patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple-focus ultrasound phased-array pattern synthesis: optimal driving-signal distributions for hyperthermia
Emad S. Ebbini,Charles A. Cain +1 more
TL;DR: A method for computing array element amplitude and phase distributions for direct synthesis of multiple-focus field patterns using ultrasonic phased arrays is shown to be capable of producing desired field levels at a set of control points in the treatment volume, providing a powerful tool for hyperthermia treatment planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of tumor thermal therapy using gold nanoparticle-assisted tumor necrosis factor-α delivery
Rachana Visaria,Robert J. Griffin,Brent W. Williams,Emad S. Ebbini,Giulio F. Paciotti,Chang W. Song,John C. Bischof +6 more
TL;DR: A newly developed nanoparticle delivery system consisting of 33-nm polyethylene glycol–coated colloidal gold nanoparticles (PT-cAu-TNF-α) with incorporated T NF-α payload (several hundred TNF- α molecules per nanoparticle) is used to maximize tumor damage and minimize systemic exposure to TNF -α.
