Review of Robot-Assisted HIFU Therapy

Sensors, 2023
This paper provides an overview of current robot-assisted high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) systems for image-guided therapies. HIFU is a minimally invasive technique that relies on the thermo-mechanical effects of focused ultrasound waves to ...

Comparison of the treatment efficacies of HIFU, HIFU combined with GnRH-a, and HIFU combined with GnRH-a and LNG-IUS for adenomyosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2023
To compare the treatment efficacies of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), HIFU combined with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a), and HIFU combined with GnRH-a and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for adenomyosis.

Mechanical fractionation of tissues using microsecond-long HIFU pulses on a clinical MR-HIFU system [PDF]

International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2018
High intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) can non-invasively treat tumours with minimal or no damage to intervening tissues. While continuous-wave HIFU thermally ablates target tissue, the effect of hundreds of microsecond-long pulsed sonications is examined in this work.

The Asian perspective on HIFU [PDF]

International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2021
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) uses about 800 times the diagnostic ultrasound power, which converges at a focal point to deliver energy above 60 degrees Celsius resulting in cell death by means of coagulation necrosis and cavitation destruction.

Mechanical high-intensity focused ultrasound creates unique tumor debris enhancing dendritic cell-induced T cell activation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionIn situ tumor ablation releases a unique repertoire of antigens from a heterogeneous population of tumor cells. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a completely noninvasive ablation therapy that can be used to ablate tumors either by ...

The efficacy and safety of MR-HIFU and US-HIFU in treating uterine fibroids with the volume <300 cm3: a meta-analysis

International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2021
Background High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising and non-invasive therapy for symptomatic uterine fibroids. Currently, the main image-guided methods for HIFU include magnetic resonance-guided (MR-HIFU) and ultrasound-guided (US-HIFU ...
