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 کاملMagnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery.
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 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 کاملMRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound in Parkinson's Disease: A Review
MRI-guided focused ultrasound is a new technology that enables intracranial ablation. Since lesioning ameliorates some of the symptoms of PD, this technology is being explored as a possible treatment for medication resistant symptoms in PD patients. The purpose of this paper is to review the clinical use and treatment outcomes of PD patients treated to date with this technology.
متن کاملMRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) surgery in conserving therapy of adenomyosis
Background Adenomyosis is a complex disorder that accounts up to one third of gynecological morbidity. Diffuse form of adenomyosis is most difficult to diagnose and treat. All attempts to create a “gold standard” in preserving therapy have not been successful so far. MRgFUS could be a promising technology for organ-preserving treatment of this disease. Purpose of this study was to determine the...
