Transcranial magnetic resonance imaging- guided focused ultrasound surgery of brain tumors: initial findings in 3 patients.
OBJECTIVE This work evaluated the clinical feasibility of transcranial magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery. METHODS Transcranial magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery offers a potential noninvasive alternative to surgical resection. The method combines a hemispherical phased-array transducer and patient-specific treatment planning based on acous...

Uterine leiomyomas pose a significant health issue to reproductive-age women. Many women desire uterine conservation, and previously safe and efficacious therapies have been limited. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery is a new noninvasive therapy that has been proven to be both safe and efficacious in the treatment of fibroids.

متن کاملTranscranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery of brain tumors: Initial findings in patients
Introduction: Previously, an MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) system was described that aims to use transcranial ultrasound exposures to noninvasively thermally ablate targets in the brain (1-3). This system uses acoustic models, geometric and density information derived from CT scans, and a phased array transducer to correct for skull-induced aberrations of the ultrasound beam (4). Here ...
