MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound for noninvasive cancer treatment

Magnetic resonance (MR)-high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an innovative, noninvasive tumour ablation technique. MR imaging and focused ultrasound are combined allowing real-time anatomic guidance and temperature mapping during treatment. Recently, the volumetric ablation approach has been introduced in order to reduce treatment length and provide more homogeneous tumour ablation. Afte...

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is under high mortality but has few effective treatment modalities. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is becoming an emerging approach of noninvasively ablating solid tumor in clinics. A variety of solid tumors have been tried on thousands of patients in the last fifteen years with great success. The principle, mechanism, and clinical outcome of HIFU were introduced fir...

Characterization Methods of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound-Induced Thermal Field

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a minimally invasive medical procedure which has shown considerable potential for a variety of therapeu­ tic applications. Some of the medical applications of HIFU include thermal ablation of tumors and uterine fibroids, vessel cauterization, thrombolysis, drug delivery, and gene activation (Curra and Crum [1]). HIFU ablation, unlike other minimally i...

Numerical Study for Optimizing Parameters of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound-Induced Thermal Field during Liver Tumor Ablation: HIFU Simulator

Introduction High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is considered a noninvasive and effective technique for tumor ablation. Frequency and acoustic power are the most effective parameters for temperature distribution and the extent of tissue damage. The aim of this study was to optimize the operating transducer parameters such as frequency and input power in order to acquire suitable temperatu...
