The first publication on this new technology, MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery presents current and future clinical applications in tumor ablation treatment. Bridging the gap between phase 3 clinical trials and the expansion to clinical practice, this source helps the reader evaluate, analyze, and utilize MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery by exploring fundamental principles and future clinical applications of this new therapeutic method.
This source discusses:
• using MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery for treating cancer patients, managing uterine fibroids, in noninvasive thermal coagulation of tumors, and as a replacement for invasive and minimally-invasive surgeries and radiation therapy
• real-time, image controlled, closed loop-feedback based noninvasive therapy delivery systems
• current clinical trials and potential methods for widespread and future use
