  • Abstract
    Thiel soft embalmed porcine kidneys have been used to study the effect of artificial blood flow on focused ultrasound (FUS) therapy. A significant temperature drop is observed when a perfusion is established within the porcine kidneys, compared with the no-flow condition FUS leads to a 2 ~ 4 °C higher temperature rising. The influence of Thiel soft embalmed Porcine Kidney Perfusion Model for Focused Ultrasound Therapy e effect from blood flow must be considered.
