Noninvasive Thermometry in High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation

Ultrasound Quarterly, 2017
AbstractHigh-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is emerging as an effective and promising treatment modality for the formation of coagulative necrosis inside the cancer/tumor noninvasively. To guarantee the efficacy and efficiency of HIFU ablation, the temperature field and consequent thermal dose should be monitored accurately in a high temporal and ...

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation of Pancreatic Cancer

Digestive Disease Interventions, 2019
AbstractPancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths, and many patients, with advanced disease, suffer from severe pain that can heavily affect their quality of life. In patients with advanced disease, an eminent role is played by percutaneous techniques, which cause tumor necrosis with a minimally invasive approach.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation for Prostate Cancer: Whole Versus Partial Gland Ablation

Clinical Genitourinary Cancer, 2022
We compared the clinical outcomes between whole-gland ablation (WGA) and partial gland ablation (PGA) using the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technique for localized prostate cancer (PCa).We retrospectively investigated 206 patients who underwent WGA or PGA for localized PCa.

Generating Uniform Lesions in High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2012
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is emerging as an effective oncology treatment modality. Because of thermal diffusion from nearby spots, the lesion size will gradually become larger as HIFU progresses. However, uniform lesions with the least energy exposure are preferred by the physician in tumor ablation.

In Vitro Atrial Septal Ablation Using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2012
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been applied clinically as a noninvasive therapeutic tool. Atrial septostomy is a palliative treatment for pulmonary artery hypertension. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of atrial septal ablation in vitro using HIFU.Fourteen sections of atrial septum from pig hearts were treated ...
