Pain alleviation and QOL improvement of MR-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) treatment for painful medial compartment of knee osteoarthritis
Background/introduction A major symptom of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the elderly is chronic knee pain, which has a significant effect on patients’ quality of life (QOL). Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the validated and reliable treatment for alleviating refractory knee pain, this is often not an option for patients with poor health status or unwillingness to undergo major surgery. ...

متن کاملMR Guided Focused Ultrasound surgery: New Clinical Applications
Tissue destruction by thermal ablation occurs when the targeted delivery of heat or cold causes a rapid change in temperature (>55°C for heat or <−20–50°C for cold) in the local tissue environment. Imaging can be used to localize and target the thermal effects to the target/tumor for treatment, control the energy deposition, and assess treatment response. Therapeutic applications of ultrasound ...
متن کاملUltrasound- and MR-guided focused ultrasound surgery for prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men. There are a number of treatment options for PC with a different therapeutic approach between USA and Europe. Radical prostatectomy is one of the most used therapies but focal gland therapy is an emerging approach, especially for localized tumors. In this scenario, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been incor...
