A Framework of the Non-invasive Ultrasound Theragnostic System
The authors have developed an Non-Invasive Ultrasound Theragnostic System to decrease the strain of patients and medical doctors. The system we propose tracks and follows movement in an affected area –kidney stones here– while High-Intensity Focused Ultra

Preface
The 4th International Workshop on Medical Imaging and Augmented Reality, MIAR 2008, was held at the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan during August 1–2, 2008. The goal of MIAR 2008 was to bring together researchers in medical imaging and intervention to present state-of-the-art developments in this ever-growing research area. Rapid technical advances in medical imaging, including its growing application in drug/gene therapy and invasive/interventiona
