About
Dr. Orane Lorton is a leading researcher in therapeutic ultrasound, with a primary focus on advancing high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for non-invasive cancer treatment. Her most cited work, "Self-Scanned HIFU Ablation of Moving Tissue Using Real-Time Hybrid US-MR Imaging" (2018, 22 citations), tackles a critical challenge in abdominal interventions: respiratory motion. Dr. Lorton pioneered the "self-scanning" method, which cleverly leverages natural tissue motion to create a controlled heating pattern while keeping the focal spot static, eliminating the need for complex motion tracking. This innovation, demonstrated using real-time hybrid ultrasound-MR imaging, significantly improves the precision and safety of HIFU ablation in moving organs like the liver and kidneys. Her contributions are foundational to making HIFU a more reliable clinical tool, reducing treatment times and collateral damage. Dr. Lorton’s work is highly regarded for its practical, translational impact, bridging advanced imaging physics with real-world therapeutic needs. She continues to be a driving force in the development of smarter, motion-adaptive ultrasound therapies.
