Chronic effect of transrectal split-focus ultrasonic ablation on canine prostatic tissue.
The treatment time needed for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation might be decreased substantially by using the split-focus approach, so we made a prototype 4.2-MHz split-focus therapeutic transducer combined with a small 6.5-MHz imaging ultrasonic probe for transrectally treatment of canine prostatic cancer and used it to experimentally evaluate the feasibility of using split-foc...

متن کاملSonalleve MR-HIFU with DISC Philips MR-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound with Direct Skin Cooling
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound guided by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (also known as MR-guided HIFU, MRgHIFU, or MRgFUS) is a therapy technique which uses focused ultrasound waves to heat and coagulate tissue deep inside the body without damaging intervening tissue and offers an novel, non-invasive treatment option for solid tumors. The Philips Sonalleve MR-HIFU system, initially released in 2...
متن کاملHigh-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in Localized Prostate Cancer Treatment
BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applies high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to locally heat and destroy diseased or damaged tissue through ablation. This study intended to review HIFU to explain the fundamentals of HIFU, evaluate the evidence concerning the role of HIFU in the treatment of prostate cancer (PC), review the technologies used to perform HIFU and the publis...
متن کاملCurrent 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...
