Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to establish the construction methodology for the Non-Invasive Ultrasound Theragnostic System (NIUTS), which is highly precise and safe for the body targets at the level of animal experiments.
As a result, we achieved 90 percent of physiological motion compensation and 1mm precision of servoing performance for the real human organ (Reported in Nihon Keizai Shinbun). We also clarified the problems and proposed efficient solutions to realize the highly precise and robust physiological motion tracking for the focal lesion. For example, one of our core technologies is registered as a Japan Patent (JP5311392, all patent claims are admitted).
