Transducer module apodization to reduce bone heating during focused ultrasound uterine fibroid ablation with phased arrays: A numerical study
The proposed transducer apodization scheme shows promise for improving MRgFUS treatments of uterine fibroids, and may ultimately increase the effective treatment envelope of MRgFUS surgery in the body by enabling tissue ablation closer to bony structures.
