Large volume 60 minute hyperthermia sonication with hilips Sonalleve V2 MR-HIFU System – animal in-vivo experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Mild hyperthermia (41.5-44°C) has been shown to enhance the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, currently available heating methods are often inefficient in inducing conformal hyperthermia for deep seated targets. Here, the software of Philips Sonalleve V2 MR-HIFU system was modified to enable performing a long duration large volume hyperthermia sonication in in-vivo porcine thigh muscle.

Boiling histotripsy lesion characterization on a clinical magnetic resonance imaging-guided high intensity focused ultrasound system
PURPOSE High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that can thermally ablate tumors. Boiling histotripsy (BH) is a HIFU approach that can emulsify tissue in a few milliseconds. Lesion volume and temperature effects for different BH sonication parameters are currently not well characterized. In this work, lesion volume, temperature distribution, and area of ...
متن کاملMulti-focal HIFU reduces cavitation in mild-hyperthermia
BACKGROUND Mild-hyperthermia therapy (40-45 °C) with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a technique being considered in a number of different treatments such as thermally activated drug delivery, immune-stimulation, and as a chemotherapy adjuvant. Mechanical damage and loss of cell viability associated with HIFU-induced acoustic cavitation may pose a risk during these treatments or may...

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...

Background/introduction While respiratory motion compensation for HIFU interventions for liver cancer therapy has been extensively studied, the influence of slow physiological motion, such as peristalsis, has so far been largely neglected. During the lengthy intervention, the magnitude of the latter can exceed acceptable therapeutic margins and lead to a substantial mismatch between planned abl...
متن کاملDetection and exploitation of acoustic cavitation for enhancement of MR guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound heating in ex vivo liver
Purpose/Introduction High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is increasingly used for the non invasive treatment of pathological tissue. The efficiency of heating can be increased by generation of acoustic cavitation in order to modify the local distribution of ultrasound pressure that can be visualized with Magnetic Resonance Acoustic Force Imaging (MR-ARFI). This studies analyzes the change ...
