Abstract		The treatment of liver cancer is a major public health issue because the liver is a frequent site for both primary and secondary tumors. Rib heating represents a major obstacle for the application of extracorporeal focused ultrasound to liver ablation. Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided external shielding of acoustic obstacles (eg, the ribs) was investigated here to avoid unwanted prefocal energy deposition in the pathway of the focused ultrasound beam.
