High‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for definitive treatment of prostate cancer
BJU International, 2012What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Novel therapeutic methods have emerged in recent years as ‘focal’ treatment alternatives in which cancer foci can be eradicated and greatly reducing the associated side‐effects of radical ...

The potential applications of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in vascular neurosurgery
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2012This review assesses the feasibilty of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in neurosurgical applications, specifically occlusion of intact blood vessels. Fourteen articles were examined. In summary, MRI was effective for HIFU guidance whereas MR angiography assessed vessel occlusion.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Ablation
2012The 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 ...

[High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in urology].
Progres en urologie : journal de l'Association francaise d'urologie et de la Societe francaise d'urologie, 2001Focused ultrasound is now well known to urologists in the context of its validated application in extracorporeal lithotripsy. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) represents a potential therapeutic modality for tissue destruction due to its very high energy and its capacity to precisely reach a target with a very short emission time.

Development of a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) hydrophone system.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009The growing use of high intensity focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has driven a need for reliable, reproducible measurements of HIFU acoustic fields. A reflective scatterer approach, incorporating several novel features for improved bandwidth, reliability, and reproducibility has been demonstrated [M. E. Schafer, J. Gessert, and W. Moore, Proc.

Blood coagulation using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
SPIE Proceedings, 2014High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology provides a feasible method of achieving thermal coagulation during surgical procedures. One of the potential clinical benefits of HIFU can induce immediate hemostasis without suturing. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency of a HIFU system for blood coagulation on severe ...

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in tumor therapy.
Duodecim; laaketieteellinen aikakauskirja, 2018HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) is a method in which high-frequency ultrasound is focused on a tissue in order to achieve a thermal effect and the subsequent percutaneously ablation, or tissue modulation. HIFU is non-invasive and results in an immediate tissue destruction effect corresponding to surgery, either percutaneously or through body ...

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
The Canadian journal of urology, 2011Curative treatments for localized prostate cancer, from least invasive to most invasive, include brachytherapy, cryosurgery, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, external beam radiation therapy, and radical prostatectomy. A patient with localized, low risk or intermediate risk prostate cancer who is diagnosed at an early age and receives one ...

MR techniques for guiding high‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2017To make full use of the ability of magnetic resonance (MR) to guide high‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment, effort has been made to improve techniques for thermometry, motion tracking, and sound beam visualization. For monitoring rapid temperature elevation with proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift, data acquisition and processing can be ...

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (Hifu) in Prostate Cancer
2014HIFU (HIGH Intensity Focused Ultrasounds) allows through a mini-invasive transrectal approach to treat the prostate cancer in several situations: primary care treatment, salvage treatment after radiation or brachytherapy failure. A whole gland treatment can be done as well as a focal treatment which is particularly interesting in the era of the ...
