Engineers from the University of Waterloo are harnessing artificial intelligence to help doctors better see and control a non-invasive cancer treatment and, in the process, save lives. “We are addressing a huge challenge for focused ultrasound treatment,” Moslem Sadeghi Goughari, a research associate in the university’s Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, explained. Their imaging system will allow for the safer and more effective use of high-intensity, focused ultrasound to destroy a wide range of cancerous, often deadly, tumours. Focused ultrasound treatment uses high-frequency sound waves to deliver a strong beam that heats and kills cancer cells. In use since … Continue reading Waterloo Engineers Pioneer AI-Enhanced Focused Ultrasound for Advanced Cancer Treatment
