Retracted: High‐intensity focused ultrasound inhibits invasion and metastasis of colon cancer cells by enhancing microRNA‐124‐mediated suppression of STAT3

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2019
Metastasis is the primary contributor to colorectal cancer mortality. High‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an emerging technology for tumor therapy that exerts its effects through tumor ablation, mechanical disruption, and enhancement of immune ...

Mechanical HIFU and immune checkpoint inhibition: toward clinical implementation [PDF]

open access: yes
Objective: Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has significantly advanced the field of immuno-oncology, yet not all patients benefit from this therapy. Combining ICI with other therapeutic modalities, including tumor ablation, is currently being explored ...

A robotic approach to HIFU based neurosurgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The use of robotics in surgical interventions not only has the potential for minimally invasive surgical procedures but can improve performance and result in reduced operative time and post-operative trauma/recovery. This paper describes the concept of a robotic based High Intensity Focused Ultrasound system as a neuro-surgical tool for the destruction

An open source modular and scalable HIFU driver system

open access: yes, 2017
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) have been an attractive research topic for some time now. HIFU studies have started with single-element transducers, but using arrays provide the opportunity to scan the focal point electronically.

Numerical study of circular ablations using HIFU for atrial fibrillation

open access: yes, 2019
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia of the heart, originating usually from ectopic atrial activity of the pulmonary veins. It is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, occurring in 1–2% of the general population.

Real-time monitoring of HIFU treatment using pulse inversion

open access: yes, 2013
Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for the real-time guidance of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment at a relatively low cost. However, ultrasound image guided HIFU (USgHIFU) is limited in the real-time monitoring of HIFU treatment due

Acoustic sensing of renal stone fragmentation in extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy

open access: yes, 2008
This thesis describes the research carried out by the author on the exploitation of acoustic emissions detected during extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (a non-invasive procedure for the treatment of urinary stones) to develop a new diagnostic system.

Monitoring HIFU lesion formation in vitro via the driving voltage

open access: yes, 2006
During insonation of tissue and tissue-mimicking materials with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), bubbles formed at or near the focus of the HIFU source have been shown to cause fluctuations in the HIFU driving voltage and current amplitudes.

Localized prostate cancer and salvage treatment: EBRT first + salvage HIFU or HIFU first + salvage EBRT? A single-institution matched pair analysis over a 20-year period.

open access: yes, 2017
77 Background: In the field of curative treatment for localized prostate cancer, HIFU (High Intensity Focused ultrasound) is one of salvage option after EBRT(external beam radiation therapy) failure and EBRT is the standard salvage option for local ...
