MR-guided focused ultrasound for acute stroke: a rabbit model.
R ecent developments in thrombolysis therapy using tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) in combination with ultrasound for noninvasive stroke treatment are of great excitement. The first clinical trials have been successfully initiated, demonstrating the potential benefit of transcranial ultrasound in combination with tPA as an effective vessel recanalizing treatment strategy. 6–10 The use of tPA...
متن کاملMR guided focused ultrasound
The joining of high-intensity focused ultrasound with high-resolution MR guidance has created a system that can produce tissue destruction deep within solid organs without any invasion. Accurate targeting and thermal mapping are provided by MRI and allow very accurate deposition of energy in tissues that can be altered in response to near real-time thermal imaging produced by MR so that the var...
متن کاملUltrasound- and MR-guided focused ultrasound surgery for prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men. There are a number of treatment options for PC with a different therapeutic approach between USA and Europe. Radical prostatectomy is one of the most used therapies but focal gland therapy is an emerging approach, especially for localized tumors. In this scenario, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been incor...
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 (HIFU) for Dissolution of Clots in a Rabbit Model of Embolic Stroke
It is estimated that only 2-6% of patients receive thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke suggesting that alternative therapies are necessary. In this study, we investigate the potential for high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to initiate thrombolysis in an embolic model of stroke. Iron-loaded blood clots were injected into the middle cerebral artery (MCA) of New Zealand White rabb...
