Dr. Shohei Mori

Topic:

Cancer treatment by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU): cavitation-enhanced treatment and monitoring

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a treatment modality for tumors. To enhance its safety and efficacy, we have developed a cavitation-enhanced HIFU treatment system. This approach utilizes cavitation bubble clouds generated by an extremely high-intensity ultrasound pulse to accelerate tissue heating by ultrasound and also improve ultrasound-based treatment monitoring. This presentation will outline the principles of the cavitation-enhanced HIFU treatment system and describe our recent work on predicting and monitoring the treatment region.

Biography:

Shohei Mori is an Assistant Professor at Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University in Japan. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan, in 2013, 2015, and 2017, respectively. His research interests include ultrasound tissue characterization for disease diagnosis and HIFU treatment for tumors.
