Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) plays an important role in treatment of HCC. HIFU has two methods in tumor treatment, which have thermal and mechanical effects. The absorption of ultrasound energy causes a rise in temperature at the target point of the tumor. Although necrosis occurs, tissue located near the...

Purpose The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare and analyze pregnancy outcomes patients with uterine fibroids after high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation laparoscopic myomectomy (LM).Materials methods group consisted 346 who wished conceive, in which 152 received HIFU treatment (HIFU group) 194 LM (LM group). parents’ baseline characters were recorded the evaluated a me...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical value of the contrast agent SonoVue in the treatment of uterine fibroids with ultrasound-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapeutic ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 291 patients with solitary uterine fibroid from three centers were treated with ultrasound-guided HIFU. Among them, 129 patients from Suining Central Hospital of Sichuan ...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively assess the safety and technical feasibility of volumetric magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) ablation with direct skin cooling (DISC) during treatment of uterine fibroids. METHODS In this proof-of-concept study, eight patients were consecutively selected for clinical MR-HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids with the use of an additiona...

The purpose of this study was to examine the development of the ultrasonic image and histology of rabbit leg muscles irradiated with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). HIFU was applied to muscles of 40 legs of 20 rabbits. The results of sonication were examined by ultrasound from 10 min to 28 days after HIFU radiation in 19 rabbits. Pathological examination was performed on Day 1 and Day...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine if pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) exposures could enhance tumor uptake of (111)In-MX-B3, a murine IgG1kappa monoclonal antibody directed against the Le(y) antigen. METHODS MX-B3 was labeled with (111)In, purified, and confirmed for its binding to the antigen-positive A431 cell line. Groups of nude mice were inoculated subcutan...

high‑intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) is a novel treatment modality used by scientists and clinicians in the recent decades. this modality has had a great and significant success as a noninvasive surgery technique applicable in tissue ablation therapy and cancer treatment. in this study, radio frequency (rf) ultrasound signals were acquired and registered in three stages of before, during, a...

The minimally invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is thermal ablation treatment for late-stage pancreatic carcinoma with widely recognized safety and effectiveness, but there are currently no instant assessment methods for its ablation effect. It is vital to find a real-time high-sensitive assessment method. This research aims to dynamically observe the variation rules of ...

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the safety and feasibility of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment combined with suction curettage under hysteroscopic guidance for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).Fifty-three patients with definite CSP were treated with HIFU followed by suction curettage under hysteroscopic guidance. All the patients received 1 session of HIFU a...
