Transcranial sonothrombolysis using high-intensity focused ultrasound: impact of increasing output power on clot fragmentation
BACKGROUND The primary goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between increasing output power levels and clot fragmentation during high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)-induced thrombolysis. METHODS A HIFU headsystem, designed for brain applications in humans, was used for this project. A human calvarium was mounted inside the water-filled hemispheric transducer. Artificial...
متن کاملNoninvasive Treatment of Breast Cancer Using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
Breast conserving surgery is a standard procedure for breast cancer since 1970. Now noninvasive therapy with few complications is preferred. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been developed to ablate solid tumor or cancer noninvasively. Its clinical outcome on breast cancer in China and Europe as well as the induced vascular destruction and immune response are summarized. In summary,...
متن کاملNoninvasive functional neurosurgery using transcranial MR imaging-guided focused ultrasound.
UNLABELLED Transcranial magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) is a novel technique to supplement the spectrum of established neurosurgical interventions. In contrast to traditional ablative procedures, tcMRgFUS is noninvasive and entirely imaging-guided with continuous temperature measurements at and around the target in real time. It has no trajectory restrictions and...
متن کاملMR-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...
متن کاملHigh-intensity focused ultrasound for noninvasive functional neurosurgery.
Transcranial magnetic resonance (MR)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (tcMRgHIFU) implies a novel, noninvasive treatment strategy for various brain diseases. Nine patients with chronic neuropathic pain were treated with selective medial thalamotomies. Precisely located thermal ablations of 4mm in diameter were produced at peak temperatures of 51 degrees C to 60 degrees C under continuou...
