摘要：
A method and apparatus are provided to determine a focus of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The method and apparatus include designating an initial location of an observation point on a three-dimensional (3-D) organ model. The method and apparatus also include determining a first location to which the observation point has moved as a result of a change in a form of the 3-D organ model, and transmitting the ultrasound to the observation point. The method and apparatus further determine a displacement of the observation point through a time taken to receive a reflected wave from the observation point, determine a second location of the observation point using the obtained displacement, and process the first and second locations to determine a final location to which the observation point has moved. The method and apparatus include determining the focus of the HIFU based on the determined final location of the observation point.
