Experimental ablation of the pancreas with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in a porcine model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and safety of high intensity focused ultrasound's (HIFU) in pancreatic diseases. Twelve pigs were divided into three groups. The pancreases of pigs in Group A were ablated directly with HIFU, but those in Group B and C ablated by extracorporeal HIFU. The pigs in Group C were sacrificed at day 7 after HIFU. Serological parameters were determined pre-operation and post-operation. The entire pancreas was removed for histological examination. Each animal tolerate the HIFU ablation well. The complete necrosis was observed in targeted regions. The margins of the necrotic regions were clearly delineated from the surrounding normal tissues. Infiltration of inflammatory cells and phorocytosis on the boundary were found in group C. Blood and urine amylase levels were relatively steady after HIFU. No acute pancreatitis or severe complications occurred. In conclusion, HIFU ablation on the pancreas was safe and effective in experimental pigs.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer in an athymic nude mouse model. Female athymic nude mice (n=44) were inoculated subcutaneously with 5-7×10(6) SW1990 human pancreatic cancer cells. Thirty-six animals developed tumours and were randomly divided into three groups: HIFU (n=18), sham treatment...

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...
