Waste analysis and energy use estimation during MR-HIFU treatment: first steps towards calculating total environmental impact

open access: yesInsights into Imaging
Objectives To assess the environmental impact of the non-invasive Magnetic Resonance image-guided High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) treatment of uterine fibroids, we aimed to perform a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

HIFU, Laser and Micro HIFU Research and Reports in Focused Ultrasounds for Face Remodelling

open access: yesJournal of Obesity & Weight Loss Therapy, 2016
High Intensity focused Ultrasounds (HIFU) is a novel therapeutic method for local hyperthermia and mechanical action on the tissue. The Ultrasonic waves emitted by a transducer propagate through the skin using a coupling gel to the desired target location.

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

open access: yesTaiwanese 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.

Characterization of HIFU fields inside of a tissue-mimicking HIFU phantom

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019
The use of a tissue-mimicking, scatterer-free polyacrylamide gel phantom for HIFU has been previously described [1]. This transparent material combines with a marker with an absorption of 0.6 dB/cm MHz which turns opaque when the temperature exceeds 65 °C.

MR-guidance of HIFU therapy

2009 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2009
MR guidance of high intensity focused ultrasound is evolving with each new application. In this paper we describe ongoing research in the MR-guidance aspect of MR-guided focused ultrasound. The structure is divided into the pretreatment/setup phase of the procedure, MR thermometry for monitoring the actual treatment, and methods for assessment and ...

Bubble-enhanced HIFU

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021
The addition of contrast agent microbubbles during HIFU can increase the temperature dramatically compared to conventional HIFU. Higher microbubble concentrations enhance this phenomenon but they also cause acoustic shadowing along the path of the HIFU beam and thus local injections are preferred over systemic delivery.

Complications of HIFU Ablation

2021
Any surgical procedure has potential complications. Abdominal and laparoscopic surgery may have heavy bleeding at operation, infection, poor wound healing, pelvic adhesion, ureter or bladder injury, bowel injury, and many others. HIFU ablation involves no wound, no bleeding, and is a type of noninvasive treatment.

Adenomyosis and HIFU Ablation

2021
Adenomyosis is due to the invasion or presence of endometrial glands in the uterine myometrium accompanied by hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the surrounding muscle cells, forming diffuse or focal lesions. Adenomyosis occurs most often in women between the ages of 30 and 50, but it can also be in younger women who have not had children. The incidence of
