Phase-amplitude optimization based on DIVA. Modeled human anatomy with optimized temperature distributions for locoregional heating of the pelvic region with the prostate as target using the 70 MHz AMC-8 system. Optimization with (central picture) and without (right picture) taking discrete vasculature into account yield substantially different predicted optimal temperature distributions, demonstrating the value of incorporating discrete vasculature in optimization routines.
