متن کاملMR guided focused ultrasound
The joining of high-intensity focused ultrasound with high-resolution MR guidance has created a system that can produce tissue destruction deep within solid organs without any invasion. Accurate targeting and thermal mapping are provided by MRI and allow very accurate deposition of energy in tissues that can be altered in response to near real-time thermal imaging produced by MR so that the var...

متن کاملMR-guided focused ultrasound ablation of the rat liver
Introduction MR-guided therapeutic ultrasound, specifically high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), has become increasingly prominent among the range of treatments for localized tumors. This technique is used clinically for the treatment of uterine fibroids, prostate and liver cancer. To study hepatocellular carcinoma an appropriate animal model must be established. Rodent models are preferre...
