Brief Summary:
Focused Ultrasound Focused ultrasound is an attractive method for non-invasive thermal ablation of soft tissue tumors Treatment begins by acquiring a series of MR images of the target organ The physician then identifies a target volume in the MR images and delineates the treatment contours on the images Therapy planning software calculates the parameters required to effectively treat the defined target volume During the treatment an ultrasound transducer generates and focuses ultrasound energy to a focal point called a sonication The sonication raises the tissue temperature within a well-defined region to a degree which causes thermal coagulation MR images acquired during sonication provide a quantitative real-time temperature map of the target area to confirm the location of the sonication and the size of the coagulated region The sonication process is repeated at multiple adjacent points to cover the entire prescribed treatment volume
