Integrating temperature-dependent tissue properties into focused ultrasound computational models for enhanced treatment planning
For FUS simulations involving perfusion shutdown in highly perfused tissues (high-power ablations) or involving hyperemia (low-power hyperthermia), incorporating temperature-dependent properties substantially impacts temperature profiles and necrosis predictions. Properties need not be updated every time step to balance simulation accuracy and computational efficiency.
