Transrectal focal HIFU: the use of MRI fusion in guiding treatment
Methods Multiparametric MRI combined with both systematic and fusion biopsy is being utilized more frequently worldwide to select patients for focal therapy. The ability to effectively ablate prostate cancer with transrectal HIFU has been demonstrated by numerous publications to date. Early results from focal HIFU series suggest that side effect profiles such as stricture, erectile dysfunction,...

متن کاملMR-HIFU: The Potential for Combined Imaging and Therapy
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive method to deliver highly concentrated energy deep in the body and it has been explored for tissue ablation for over half a century. A safe clinical use requires that the focus is guided by an imaging method. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides such features as excellent soft tissue contrast, temperature sensitivity and ability to d...
متن کاملHigh-intensity focused ultrasound tumor ablation: review of ten years of clinical experience.
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a technique to destroy tissue at depth within the body, selectively and without harming overlying and adjacent structures within the path of the beam because the ultrasonic intensity at the beam focus is much higher than that outside of the focus. Diagnostic ultrasound is the first imaging modality used for guiding HIFU ablation. In 1997, a patient wi...
