High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of liver tumors in difficult locations
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been shown to be a valuable tool in the management of small liver tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It safe and effective means ablate HCC even presence advanced cirrhosis. This review examines challenges faced during HIFU ablation when target are located difficult locations dome, close rib cage, near large blood vessels or heart, adjacent hollow viscera; special maneuvers employed tackle lesions.

All patients underwent MDCT or MRI, and some patients underwent...
متن کاملRespiration based steering for high intensity focused ultrasound liver ablation.
PURPOSE Respiratory motion makes hepatic ablation using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFO) challenging. Previous HIFU liver treatment had required apnea induced during general anesthesia. We describe and test a system that allows treatment of the liver in the presence of breathing motion. METHODS Mapping a signal from an external respiratory bellow to treatment locations within the live...

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...

We fabricated a prototype 3.25-MHz split-focus therapeutic transducer combined with a small 6.5-MHz imaging ultrasonic probe for transrectal treatment of prostate cancer and evaluated the feasibility of using split-focus high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to ablate localized tumor tissue without injuring the surrounding organs. We therefore established a localized tumor model by inoculati...
