PET and MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery for hypoxic-tissue ablation combined with radiotherapy in solid tumors
Background: The rationale was to develop an ablation approach to destroy regions of tumor resistant to radiation and thus reduce the time required for whole tumor ablation, while improving overall tumor control after radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: The system is composed of a micro positron emission tomography (mPET), 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a customized MRI-compatible foc...
متن کاملOpen-source, small-animal magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound system
BACKGROUND MR-guided focused ultrasound or high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS/MRgHIFU) is a non-invasive therapeutic modality with many potential applications in areas such as cancer therapy, drug delivery, and blood-brain barrier opening. However, the large financial costs involved in developing preclinical MRgFUS systems represent a barrier to research groups interested in developing n...
متن کاملA high precision MR-compatible positioning system for focused ultrasound experiments in small animal models
Introduction: Magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) therapy is a non-invasive technique for targeted blood-brain barrier disruption, site-specific delivery of pharmaceuticals, and controlled heating and coagulation of tissues [1, 2]. However, the translation of this technology into clinical practice still requires extensive testing in preclinical rodent models, yet the small siz...
