چکیده
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound guided by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (also known as MR-guided HIFU, MRgHIFU, or MRgFUS) is a therapy technique which uses focused ultrasound waves to heat and coagulate tissue deep inside the body without damaging intervening tissue and offers an novel, non-invasive treatment option for solid tumors. The Philips Sonalleve MR-HIFU system, initially released in 2010, introduced a new approach to MRI-guided HIFU ablation, whereby volumetric sonications are used to achieve very efficient dose formation and predictable lesion volumes. In this article, we discuss a new DIrect Skin Cooling (DISC) device and Dual Mode Thermometry (DMT), which enable a true patient-adaptive treatment and further improve system efficiency and present results from example cases out of the first 50 treatments performed at the time of writing.

Background Mild hyperthermia (41.5-44°C) has been shown to enhance the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, currently available heating methods are often inefficient in inducing conformal hyperthermia for deep seated targets. Here, the software of Philips Sonalleve V2 MR-HIFU system was modified to enable performing a long duration large volume hyperthermia sonication in in-vivo po...
