Evaluation safety and efficacy of MRgFUS for palliative treatment of bone metastasis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The ExAblate system is a non-invasive thermal ablation device that has been used for the ablation of tissue. This system combines a focused ultrasound surgery delivery system and a conventional diagnostic 1.5 T MRI scanner (MRgFUS/MR guided focused ultrasound surgery). Starting from 2009 up to 2012 our Institute participated in the clinical randomized multi-site study to evaluate safety and efficacy of MRgFUS for palliative treatment of Bone Metastasis. This study was approved by FDA at 18 October 2012.

BACKGROUND Severe knee pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common and troublesome symptoms in the elderly. Recently, local bone denervation by MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) has been demonstrated as a promising tool for pain palliation of bone metastases. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel treatment for knee OA using MRgFUS, and to validate its safet...
