About
Laura Gui is a leading researcher in biomedical imaging and therapeutic ultrasound, with a focus on advancing non-invasive cancer treatments. Her key research areas include high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation, real-time hybrid imaging, and motion compensation for moving tissues. Gui’s major contribution is the development of the self-scanned HIFU ablation method, which leverages natural respiratory motion to create precise heating patterns in abdominal tissues, overcoming a critical challenge in treating organs affected by breathing. Her seminal 2018 paper on this technique, which has garnered 22 citations, demonstrates the integration of real-time hybrid US-MR imaging to guide and monitor ablation, significantly improving treatment accuracy and safety. This work has opened new possibilities for targeting moving tumors without the need for complex respiratory gating or tracking systems. Gui’s research has been recognized for its translational potential, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and clinical application. Her contributions are particularly impactful for students and researchers interested in the intersection of medical imaging, ultrasound physics, and cancer therapy, offering a practical solution to one of the field’s most persistent obstacles.
