High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
INTRODUCTION Curative treatments for localized prostate cancer, from least invasive to most invasive, include brachytherapy, cryosurgery, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, external beam radiation therapy, and radical prostatectomy. A patient with localized, low risk or intermediate risk prostate cancer who is diagnosed at an early age and receives one of these treatments has only a...
متن کاملHigh-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND The growing interest in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is mainly due to its potential applications as a minimally invasive therapy. HIFU has been assessed for its role in the treatment of localized prostate cancer in patients who otherwise would not have benefited from surgery and in local recurrences after radiation failure. METHODS Relevant information on HIFU treatment...
متن کاملHigh-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in Localized Prostate Cancer Treatment
BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applies high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to locally heat and destroy diseased or damaged tissue through ablation. This study intended to review HIFU to explain the fundamentals of HIFU, evaluate the evidence concerning the role of HIFU in the treatment of prostate cancer (PC), review the technologies used to perform HIFU and the publis...
متن کاملBeamforming for Therapy with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (hifu) Using Quantitative Schlieren
The requirements for beamforming in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for tissue destruction are substantially different than those for diagnostic imaging. High numerical aperture and CW efficiency are desirable for tissue destruction, while depth of focus and broadband sensitivity are key to good imaging. When the same transducer must be used for ablation and imaging some compromises mu...
