Histology to 3D in vivo MR registration for volumetric evaluation of MRgFUS treatment assessment biomarkers

Abstract Advances in imaging and early cancer detection have increased interest in magnetic resonance (MR) guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) technologies for cancer treatment. MRgFUS ablation treatments could reduce surgical risks, preserve organ tissue and function, and improve patient quality of...
