High-intensity focused ultrasound therapy

Best Practice and Research in Clinical Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2018
High-intensity focused ultrasound therapy has received increasing interest in the management of benign uterine tumors. Either magnetic resonance or ultrasound imaging has been used to target and monitor the ablation process. This article provides an overview of the background, clinical use, treatment outcomes, and safety of high-intensity focused ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2012
Focal therapy (FT) is an emerging noncancerous tissue preservation strategy that aims for treating only the areas of cancer. FT has attracted attention over the several years in the field of treatment of localized prostate cancer. On the other hand, the use of minimally invasive ablative techniques in the management of patients with low-grade and ...

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1994
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a technology that permits the use of ultrasound waves used for imaging and then focuses them as one would use a magnifying glass to focus sunlight. The ultrasound energy is absorbed by tissue and converted to heat and can be used to ablate tissue.

High-intensity focused ultrasound for prostate cancer

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2020
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive procedure that has shown promising results in a wide range of malignant and nonmalignant conditions, including localized prostate cancer (PCa). This review aims to describe the application of HIFU in the management of patients with PCa, explaining its basic therapeutic principles, going through ...

Hemostasis using high intensity focused ultrasound

European Journal of Ultrasound, 1999
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been shown to be an effective method of hemostasis, in animal studies, for both solid organs and blood vessels. Two distinct effects of HIFU, thermal and mechanical, appear to contribute to hemostasis. Acoustic hemostasis may provide an effective method in surgery and prehospital settings for treating trauma

Treatment of glaucoma with high intensity focused ultrasound

International Ophthalmology, 1989
Focused high intensity therapeutic ultrasound has been used since 1982 by Coleman and all, to treat patients with uncontrollable intraocular pressure. Three mechanisms may be responsible for lowering intraocular pressure: decreased aqueous humor production in the ciliary epithelium, transscleral outflow of aqueous humor, and increased uveal outflow. We

High-intensity Focused Ultrasound: Ready for Primetime

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2010
Prostate cancer (CaP) is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the United States and the incidence of CaP has remained constant at 165 cases per 100,000 men. Since 1990, the age-adjusted death rate has decreased by 31%. In this article, the authors review the current literature on the experimental therapy for HIFU.

Morbidity Associated with Primary High Intensity Focused Ultrasound and Redo High Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Localized Prostate Cancer

Journal of Urology, 2014
High intensity focused ultrasound may have a role as an alternative to standard radical therapies for localized prostate cancer. An attribute of high intensity focused ultrasound is that it can be repeated. We determined morbidity after primary and redo high intensity focused ultrasound.We performed an academic lead analysis of United Kingdom registry ...
