Current and Future Clinical Applications of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Pancreatic Cancer.
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a novel therapeutic modality that permits noninvasive treatment of various benign and malignant solid tumors, including prostatic cancer, uterine fibroids, hepatic tumors, renal tumors, breast cancers, and pancreatic cancers. Several preclinical and clinical studies have investigated the safety and efficacy of HIFU for treating solid tumors, including...
متن کاملHigh-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in Uterine Fibroid Treatment: Review Study
BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a highly precise medical procedure used locally to heat and destroy diseased tissue through ablation. This study intended to review HIFU in uterine fibroid therapy, to evaluate the role of HIFU in the therapy of leiomyomas as well as to review the actual clinical activities in this field including efficacy and safety measures beside the pub...
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 کاملA framework for continuous target tracking during MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound thermal ablations in the abdomen
BACKGROUND During lengthy magnetic resonance-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRg-HIFU) thermal ablations in abdominal organs, the therapeutic work-flow is frequently hampered by various types of physiological motion occurring at different time-scales. If left un-addressed this can lead to an incomplete therapy and/or to tissue damage of organs-at-risk. While previous studies focus on ...
متن کاملMatMRI and MatHIFU: software toolboxes for real-time monitoring and control of MR-guided HIFU
BACKGROUND The availability of open and versatile software tools is a key feature to facilitate pre-clinical research for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) and expedite clinical translation of diagnostic and therapeutic medical applications. In the present study, two customizable software tools that were developed at the T...
