ABSTRACT
Objective and Impact Statement High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is a promising noninvasive method that induces coagulative necrosis in diseased tissues through thermal and cavitation effects, while avoiding surrounding damage to surrounding normal tissues. Introduction:
Accurate and real-time acquisition of the focal region temperature field during HIFU treatment marked enhances therapeutic efficacy, holding paramount scientific and practical value in clinical cancer therapy.Methods:
In this paper, we initially designed and assembled an integrated HIFU system incorporating diagnostic, therapeutic, and temperature measurement functionalities to collect ultrasound echo signals and temperature variations during HIFU therapy. Furthermore, we introduced a novel multimodal teacher-student model approach, which utilizes the shared self-expressive coefficients and the deep canonical correlation analysis layer to aggregate each modality data, then through knowledge distillation strategies, transfers the knowledge from the teacher model to the student model.Results:
By investigating the relationship between the phantoms, in vitro, and in vivo ultrasound echo signals and temperatures, we successfully achieved real-time reconstruction of the HIFU focal 2D temperature field region with a maximum temperature error of less than 2.5 °C.Conclusion:
Our method effectively monitored the distribution of the HIFU temperature field in real time, providing scientifically precise predictive schemes for HIFU therapy, laying a theoretical foundation for subsequent personalized treatment dose planning, and providing efficient guidance for noninvasive, nonionizing cancer treatment.
