TIPS focused ultrasound (FUS); (left) overview of the equipment showing the water-filled transducer chamber, the thermocouple interface, and the control PC; (right) schematic of the in vivo configuration with the transducer (a) raised such that the ultrasound biconic (b) focuses just above the skin surface over the tumour (c). The mouse is surrounded with warmed, degassed ultrasound gel (d) and placed on an ultrasound absorbing mat (e) to prevent reflections off the table. Temperature monitoring is via two or three fine-wire thermocouples (f) implanted around the tumour
