Intrapartum uterine rupture following ultrasound‐guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound ablation of uterine fibroid and adenomyosis

Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2022
Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis affect the quality of life of many women of reproductive age. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is one of several minimally invasive conservative therapies offered for uterine myoma, and sometimes for ...

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation of Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]

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 (HIFU) Ablation [PDF]

, 2012
The ideal cancer therapy not only induces the death of all localized tumor cells without damage to surrounding normal tissue, but also activates a systemic antitumor immunity. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has the potential to be such a treatment, as it can non-invasively ablate a targeted tumor below the skin surface, and may subsequently ...

Combining Mechanical High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation with Chemotherapy for Augmentation of Anticancer Immune Responses.

Molecular Pharmaceutics, 2021
As a noninvasive therapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) shows great potential in inducing anticancer immune responses. However, the overall anticancer efficacy of HIFU is still limited due to the rapid attenuation of ultrasound waves and ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of breast cancer

Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy, 2007
The noninvasive ablation of tumors with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy has received increasingly widespread interest. The temperature within the focal volume of an ultrasound beam is rapidly raised to cytotoxic levels. HIFU can selectively ablate a targeted tumor at depth without any damage to surrounding or overlying tissues.

Enhancement of ultrasound contrast agent in High-Intensity focused ultrasound ablation

Advances in Therapy, 2006
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is becoming an increasingly attractive modality for ablation. Enhancement of HIFU is an important issue that has been discussed and investigated worldwide. Ultrasound contrast agents are considered to constitute an efficient medium for changing acoustic characteristics and improving energy deposition in the ...

Chronic Histological Transmurality of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2012
We evaluated histologic results for surgical left maze with an high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy source. Two patients came to our attention 6 and 48 months, respectively, after ablation concomitant to a valve procedure. Tissue specimens, obtained from the lesion site on the mitral isthmus and from the "box lesion" around the pulmonary ...

Laparoscopic Partial Kidney Ablation With High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Journal of Urology, 2003
High intensity focused ultrasound has been performed for transrectal and extracorporeal thermal ablation of tissues. We developed and tested a laparoscopic probe that allows real-time ultrasound imaging during partial renal ablation using high intensity focused ultrasound.A Sonablate 200 (Focus Surgery, Indianapolis, Indiana) high intensity focused ...

High intensity focused ultrasound ablation of kidney guided by MRI

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2004
The effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor therapeutic protocols of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), in freshly excised pig kidney cortex is investigated. For high quality imaging, the pulse sequence fast spin echo (FSE) T1- and T2-weighted, and proton density were evaluated.
