Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided for an ultrasound-mediated therapy system. In one example, a method includes for one or more therapeutic ultrasound beams of a plurality of therapeutic ultrasound beams delivered to a therapy region of interest (ROI) via an ultrasound probe, identifying a respective location of the one or more therapeutic ultrasound beams relative to the therapy ROI based on: a respective modeled beam profile, a respective live two-dimensional (2D) image of the therapy ROI acquired with the ultrasound probe, a respective position of the ultrasound probe, and a known prior location of the therapy ROI, calculating a cumulative therapeutic ultrasound dose received at each sub-region of the therapy ROI based on the respective location of the one or more therapeutic ultrasound beams; and outputting an indication of the cumulative therapeutic ultrasound dose received at each sub-region of the therapy ROI for display on a display device.
