@joealp1 That is a large tumor. Has the tumor affected the SMA or SMV (artery or vein)? I was curious if histotripsy could be used near the blood vessels.

@rosebella
My tumor did affect the SMA and SMV. My understanding is that the ultra sound target is precise, and they avoid the SMA and V. Subsequently there's some daylight emerging between what's left of the tumor and the SMV, and it's a continuing process.
