Background: Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) offers precise non-invasive thermotherapy for clinical applications such as the treatment of breast lesions. However, patients with a biopsy marker are usually not eligible for MR-HIFU treatment. This study investigates the interaction of some MR-compatible markers with MR-HIFU thermotherapy. Methods: The ... read more MR-HIFU compatibility of 14 markers (6 Gold Anchor and 4 Visicoil markers in gold, 1 Visicoil marker in brass, 3 BiomarC markers in carbon coated) were tested using the Sonalleve breast MR-HIFU platform at 1.5 T. The impact of these markers was assessed by counting the number of voxels with low signal intensity on MR thermal maps and by comparing temperature increases induced by the HIFU beam. Results: Most markers were visible on thermal maps with an apparent size 4.2 ± 3.1 and 2 ± 1.8 times larger than their respective actual width and length. The volume of masked voxels was for most of the ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) is a non-invasive outpatient modality. In MR-HIFU, a specially designed ultrasound transducer is used to focus a beam of ultrasound energy into a small volume at a specific target site in the body. The focused beam is intended to produce therapeutic hyperthermia in the target field while only harmlessly warming the immediately surrounding tissue. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is used during the ultrasound treatment, both to focus the ultrasound beam on the target field and to perform real-time thermal mapping at and around the target.. The Philips Sonalleve MR-HIFU system is expected to be efficacious in reducing pain scores in patients with painful bone metastases and in reducing their pain medication usage. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Nanoparticle-Mediated Acoustic Cavitation Enables High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation Without Tissue Heating. AU - Yildirim, Adem. AU - Shi, Dennis. AU - Roy, Shambojit. AU - Blum, Nicholas T.. AU - Chattaraj, Rajarshi. AU - Cha, Jennifer N.. AU - Goodwin, Andrew P.. PY - 2018/10/31. Y1 - 2018/10/31. N2 - While thermal ablation of various solid tumors has been demonstrated using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), the therapeutic outcomes of this technique are still unsatisfactory because of common recurrence of thermally ablated cancers and treatment side effects due to the high ultrasound intensity and acoustic pressure requirements. More precise ablation of tumors can be achieved by generating cavitating bubbles in the tissue using shorter pulses with higher acoustic pressures, which induce mechanical damage rather than thermal. However, it has remained as a challenge to safely deliver the acoustic pressures required for mechanical ablation of solid tumors. Here, ...

A new MR-guided HIFU setup for the treatment of small animals was designed and evaluated with three different ablation methods. This setup can be used to distinguish between thermal and mechanical ablation methods. The small focus (0.5 × 0.5 × 2.0 mm FWHM) of the HIFU system results in a high ablation accuracy. The HIFU focus can accurately be positioned within the tumor with minimal to no damage to the surrounding tissue, such as the skin or leg muscles. In combination with the high-field small animal MR system, the temperature within the focal region and surrounding tissue can accurately (+/−0.31 °C) be measured with a high spatial resolution in real time (temporal resolution 1.9 s). Thus, it is now feasible to do larger follow-up studies in mice after MR-guided HIFU treatment to improve treatment methods and monitoring of tumor response.. Two different thermometry methods were used, a GRE-FLASH sequence and an EPI sequence. With the GRE-FLASH sequence, the temperature can only be ...

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for the treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). Materials and methods: Twenty-one consecutive patients with AWE were treate

Magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRg-HIFU) is a non-invasive, outpatient modality being investigated for the treatment of cancer. In MRg-HIFU, a specially designed transducer is used to focus a beam of ultrasound energy into a small volume at a specific target site in the body. The focused beam produces therapeutic heating (55-90 °C for 20-30 s) in the target field causing protein denaturation and cell damage resulting in tissue ablation. The tissue immediately adjacent to the target is warmed to a lower temperature which does not cause tissue ablation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging will be used both to focus the ultrasound beam on the target field in the neck (the metastatic lymph node or tumour mass-containing nerves and tumour vasculature) and to perform real-time thermal mapping in order to limit the ablative effects on the designated target and preserve healthy tissue.. Clinical applications of HIFU (which may use MR or other image guidance) are being used ...

Comparing the VAS scores before and after HIFU treatment, AR symptoms were improved in group A and were more improved in group B. Before treatment, the VAS scores of the AR symptoms in group A and B were at the same level (p ,0.05). Either 3 months or 1 year after treatment, the VAS score of four AR symptoms in group B were all lower than those in group A. These differences were statistically significant except those of sneezing and rhinorrhea at 3 months after treatment. 10.71% (6/56) of patients in group A were not satisfied (VAS score of satisfaction , 5) and gave poor or very poor evaluation. Inefficiency or recurrence was their most frequent complaint. No patient in group B had the same complaint or was not satisfied. Moreover, statistical differences were observed between VAS scores at 3 months and 1 year after treatment in group A (p,0.05), but not in group B (p,0.05). These results proposed that AR symptoms were best controlled at 3 months after HIFU treatment, and recurred partially ...

CyberKnife M6 - effective, modern, non-invasive treatment of malign and benign tumours in various parts of body without a surgical intervention.

Profound Medical Inc. has developed a novel technology called the MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound therapy system (TULSA-PRO). The technology is developed for patients with organ confined prostate cancer. The therapeutic endpoint of this technology is thermal coagulation of prostate tissue.. The treatment is conducted within a MRI suite, which enables real-time temperature images of the heated region to be acquired as the ultrasonic treatment is delivered. Using MRI thermometry during treatment, dynamic temperature feedback control over the intensity of the ultrasound beams and rotation of the Ultrasound Applicator can shape the pattern of thermal coagulation accurately and precisely in the prostate gland.. It provides advantages of a non-invasive procedure with short treatment times. ...

Single-session HIFU ablation was highly effective in causing shrinkage of benign thyroid nodules at six months, but the extent of shrinkage for larger-sized nodules (,30 mL) was noticeably less than that of smaller-sized nodules. Both pre-ablation nodule volume and total energy per nodule volume were significant determinants of ablation success ...

A cochlear implant is an implanted electronic device used to provide a sensation of hearing to a person who is hard of hearing. The cochlear implant is often referred to as a bionic ear. This paper presents an undecimated wavelet-based speech coding strategy for cochlear implants, which gives a novel speech processing strategy. The undecimated wavelet packet transform (UWPT) is computed like the wavelet packet transform except that it does not down-sample the output at each level. The speech data used for the current study consists of 30 consonants, sampled at 16 kbps. The performance of our proposed UWPT method was compared to that of infinite impulse response (IIR) filter in terms of mean opinion score (MOS), short-time objective intelligibility (STOI) measure and segmental signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Undecimated wavelet had better segmental SNR in about 96% of the input speech data. The MOS of the proposed method was twice in comparison with that of the IIR filter-bank. The statistical ...

Objectives: Since 2004, uterine fibroids have been treated with MR-HIFU, but there are persevering doubts on long-term efficacy to date. In the Focused Ultrasound Myoma Outcome Study (FUMOS), we evaluated long-term outcomes after MR-HIFU therapy, primarily to assess the reintervention rate. Methods: Data was retrospectively collected from 123 patients treated with MR-HIFU at our hospital from 2010 to 2017. Follow-up duration and baseline (MRI) characteristics were retrieved from medical records. Treatment failures, adverse events, and the nonperfused volume percentage (NPV%) were determined. Patients received a questionnaire about reinterventions, recovery time, satisfaction, and pregnancy outcomes. Restrictive treatment protocols were compared with unrestrictive (aiming for complete ablation) treatments. Subgroups were analyzed based on the achieved NPV , 50 or ≥ 50%. Results: Treatment failures occurred in 12.1% and the number of adverse events was 13.7%. Implementation of an unrestrictive ...

Thermal therapy is based on the observation that tumor cells are sensitive to increased temperature, which is important for tumor control. In this study, the high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system was used to simulate thermal therapy on breast cancer control in the small animal model. Additionally, the immunoadjuvant agent, so called glycated chitosan (GC), was used to enhance the immunological effects on tumor control. The bioluminescent imaging showed that tumor metastasis was apparently suppressed by a combined treatment using HIFU and GC, but not in HIFU or GC alone. Using immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, lung metastasis of 4T1-3R tumor cells further agree the observations obtained from non-invasive in vivo imaging. We also found that plasma collected from mice treated with combined HIFU and GC could significantly suppress the viability of cultured 4T1 cells compared to untreated or single treated group. In summary, these results suggest that the HIFU therapy combined with GC can ...

Latest Cancer News By Peter Schelden on 12/06/2019 11:19 AM Source: MedicineNet Health News A new way of using sound waves to treat prostate cancer is effective and produces minimal side effects, researchers say. Guided by MRI, a new ultrasound procedure led to no evidence of cancer after a one-year follow-up in 65% of men in a clinical trial, according to a presentation made this week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Cancer nearly or completely disappeared in 80% of the 115 men who received the procedure, the researchers said. The treatment is called transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA), and it takes 51 minutes to perform on average. We saw very good results in the patients, with a dramatic reduction of over 90 percent in prostate volume and low rates of impotence with almost no incontinence, said study co-author Steven S. Raman, M.D., professor of radiology and urology, and director of Prostate MR Imaging and Interventions and Prostate MR ...

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is rapidly advancing as an alternative therapy for non-invasively treating specific cancers and other pathological tissues through thermal ablation. A new type of HIFU therapy boiling histotripsy (BH) aims at mechanical fractionation of into subcellular fragments, with a range of accompanying thermal effects that can be tuned from none to substantial depending on the requirements of the application. The degree of mechanical tissue damage induced by BH has been shown to depend on the tissue type, with collagenous structures being most resistant, and cellular structures being most sensitive. This has been reported for single BH lesions, but has not been replicated in large volumes. Such tissue selectivity effect has potential uses involving tissue decellularization for biofabrication technologies as well as mechanical ablation by BH while sparing critical structures. The goal of this study was to investigate tissue decellularization effect in larger, ...

Absorption differences due to crystal shape and mounting, shutter synchronization problems, imperfect detector calibration and inhomogeneity of detector sensitivity, shadowed parts of the detector, nonlinear or overloaded detector, vibrations for example due to the cryo stream or fluctuations of the primary X-ray beam, imperfect or inaccurate assumptions about geometric parameters and computational models applied in the data processing step, and to other problems that may be significant for a given experiment.. Systematic error may appear to be random if its cause is unknown or cannot be fully described or modeled, but contrary to a random counting error, the change of a reflections intensity is usually proportional to the intensity itself- thus the term fractional error. However, many kinds of systematic errors in a crystallographic experiment at least partially cancel out if multiple measurements are averaged. Examples are beam instability, shutter problems, and most aspects of detector ...

IN REPLY: Thanks to Dr. Wooltorton for a nice and optimistic overview of noninvasive treatments for umbilical granulomas. I would add a resource1 to his armamentarium that praises the curative effect of common salt on umbilical granuloma. This article1 states that the high concentration of sodium ion in the area draws water out of the cells and results in shrinkage and necrosis of the wet granulomatous tissue.. However, contrary to Dr. Wooltortons impression, we did not ignore the easily reversed root causes of these lesions; we mentioned them in the first two sentences of the abstract and the first part of the discussion of the article.2 Dr. Wooltorton also implies that our technique is only pertinent for small umbilical granulomas such as in the case we presented in our article.2 In reality, it is effective for large pedunculated granulomas and avoids a prolonged and usually unsuccessful trial of conservative treatment. In our experience of treating hundreds of umbilical granulomas in ...

Gd-enhanced MR images acquired before and after ultrasound treatments were analyzed prospectively. The image sets were segmented, normalized, and coregistered to evaluate contrast enhancement. The volume of SUISE was calculated with voxels labeled as gray or white matter, in a cylindrical region of interest, and with enhancement above a given threshold. To validate the method, the resulting volumes of SUISE were compared to qualitative grades previously assigned by 3 clinicians for 40 ultrasound treatments in 15 patients. A parametric study was performed to optimize the algorithm prediction of the qualitative grades. The 3D acoustic field in the brain was estimated from measurements in water combined with simulations accounting for ultrasound attenuation in brain and overlaid on each MR image to correlate local acoustic pressure with the probability of SUISE (defined as enhancement , 10%). ...

High intensity frequency ultrasound treatment for bengin prostate cancer patients destroys the cancer without harming nearby healthy cells.

The reflection of ultrasound waves at the air-skin interface is 100%, but if we use a coupling medium such as gel the beam reflection is reduced to only 0.1%.. This is the reason why a coupling gel must be used during ultrasound treatment. The gel must be neutral and should not contain any saline solution (the one used for diagnostic ultrasound is ideal). Prior to treatment a layer of gel should be spread on the hand probe surface and directly on the area to treat; the procedure should be repeated during treatment in order to help ultrasound penetration and the hand probe smooth sliding on the area to treat.. Biological tissues with a high fluid content absorb ultrasound waves better than less hydrated tissues.. Ultrasound waves generated by high frequency 1-3 MHz ultrasound devices are very easily absorbed by superficial tissues and consequently deeper tissues remain unaffected. In fact ultrasound waves absorption increases as the operating frequency increases.. This is one of the major ...

Multiple diameter single fiber reflectance (MDSFR) measurements of turbid media can be used to determine the reduced scattering coefficient (μ′s) and a parameter that characterizes the phase function (γ). The MDSFR method utilizes a semi-empirical model that expresses the collected single fiber reflectance intensity as a function of fiber diameter (dfiber), μ′s, and γ. This study investigated the sensitivity of the MDSFR estimates of μ′s and γ to the choice of fiber diameters and spectral information incorporated into the fitting procedure. The fit algorithm was tested using Monte Carlo simulations of single fiber reflectance intensities that investigated biologically relevant ranges of scattering properties (μ′s ∈ [0.4 - 4]mm−1) and phase functions (γ ∈ [1.4 - 1.9]) and for multiple fiber diameters (dfiber ∈ [0.2 - 1.5] mm).

Major treatments for malignant tumors are surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and a combination of these. Although combination therapy is considered to be an option with potential additive benefits, the increasing side-effects often cause patients to elect to discontinue treatment, such as radical radiotherapy or chemotherapy, which are limited to a single course even if patients have recurrent disease or a second primary manifestation in the irradiated field. Novel therapeutic strategies, preferably consisting of non-invasive treatments, are therefore required.. The use of light is one of the options that could be considered for non-invasive treatments. Light treatment for therapeutic purposes has been performed for thousands of years but more recently, the use of light with certain chemicals in photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been developed to treat diseases, especially in oncology (1-4). It is known that PDT requires a sensitizing agent, light energy and oxygen to generate reactive oxygen ...

Researchers from Oxford University have developed a way to use a combination of nanoparticles and ultrasound signals to effectively pump drug molecules deeper into a tumour than they would naturally travel.. The technique, which also allows doctors to monitor the progress of the drugs in real time, could enable chemotherapy drugs to kill more cancer cells and create a greater chance of destroying the tumour altogether.. This is a slightly different philosophy to improving outcome of cancer therapy, because there is a tendency to say we need better drugs, said lead researcher Prof Constantin Coussios, co-founder of spinout firm OxSonics, which is looking to commercialise the treatment.. This technology will, in a very cost-effective way, give to all current drugs a much better chance of being curative rather than just lengthening survival.. Chemotherapy drugs are typically injected into the blood stream and kill the cancer cells they encounter as they are absorbed by the body.. But cancer ...

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to review the evidence regarding the use of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in the management of acute long bone fractures. METHODS: Systematic review of Medline, Embase, and CINAHL databases. Further published studies were retrieved by hand searching bibliographies of relevant articles. Retrieved studies were limited to English-language studies published since 1956. Retrieved studies were excluded from review using the following criteria: case reports, exclusively pathologic fractures, treatment of therapeutic osteotomies and arthrodesis, initiation of ultrasound therapy after the first month following injury, no reporting of assessment of time to fracture healing, cellular studies, and nonclinical articles. Studies were reviewed independently by two reviewers using the CONSORT score. No statistical analysis was performed as the data from the studies were not suitable for pooled analysis. RESULTS: Seven randomized controlled trials and two meta-analyses

Retinal and choroidal neovascularization play a pivotal role in the leading causes of blindness including macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Current therapy by focal laser photocoagulation can damage the normal surrounding cells, such as the photoreceptor inner and outer segments which are adjacent to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), due to the use of high laser energy and millisecond pulse duration. Therapies with pharmaceutical agents involve systemic administration of drugs, which can cause adverse effects and patients may become drug-resistant. We have developed a noninvasive photo-mediated ultrasound therapy (PUT) technique as a localized antivascular method, and applied it to remove micro blood vessels in the retina. PUT takes advantage of the high native optical contrast among biological tissues, and has the unique capability to self-target microvessels without causing unwanted damages to the surrounding tissues. This technique promotes cavitation activity in blood ...

Renal sympathetic denervation (RSDN), or renal denervation (RDN), is a minimally invasive, endovascular catheter based procedure using radiofrequency ablation or ultrasound ablation aimed at treating resistant hypertension (high blood pressure not controlled by medication).

About hypertension. Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. Blood pressure is expressed by two measurements, systolic and diastolic pressures, which are the maximum and minimum pressures, respectively, in the arterial system. Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100-140 mmHg systolic and 60-90 mmHg diastolic. Hypertension is present if the blood pressure is persistently at or above 140/90 mmHg for adults. Sustained hypertension over time is a major risk factor for heart disease, coronary artery disease, stroke, aortic aneurysm, peripheral artery disease and chronic kidney disease. Hypertension affects over 1 billion people worldwide.. About renal denervation. Renal denervation is an interventional approach for the treatment of high blood pressure. A minimally-invasive, endovascular-catheter-based procedure, it uses radiofrequency or ultrasound ablation to treat resistant hypertension. Nerves in the wall of the renal artery ...

The results demonstrated that focal HIFU carries a low risk of complication and can help preserve quality of life. In fact, all patients remained continent and there was no significant decrease in sexual function. There also were no serious adverse events or major complications. Minor complications, including difficulties with urination and urinary tract infection, occurred in a small proportion of the patients, and were addressed without major interventions. Patients were typically discharged the same day as their procedure and resumed regular activities shortly thereafter. This positive data empowers urologists to use focal HIFU ablation to effectively address prostate cancer without the intrinsic side effects of radical treatments, says Andre Abreu, MD, urologic surgeon with Keck Medicine and first author of the study. Abreu is also an assistant professor of clinical urology and radiology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. We hope this study encourages prostate cancer patients to talk ...

Results of a new phase III clinical trial published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) found that non-invasive magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound treatment can reduce pain and improve function in patients with bone metastases. The therapy works by targeting and heating tumor tissue within the bone, and may be especially helpful in situations where more commonly used radiation therapy is not an option.. Magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) is a technique that has been safely used to treat thousands of women with uterine fibroids. This phase III study was the first to investigate its application to the management of pain from cancer. The study involved a total of 147 patients who were randomized to undergo MRgFUS or a placebo treatment. 64 percent of MRgFUS recipients reported either no pain or a significant reduction in their pain at three months. Many patients were able to reduce or stop use of opioid medications. Most patients experienced ...

A contrast material provides a roadmap for the catheter as it is maneuvered into your uterine arteries. Thus, it is significant to propose a computer-aided uterine fibroid segmentation method in HIFU therapy that can relieve physicians burdens and improve therapy efficiency. apple cider vinegar and fibroids can aggravate your fibroid and endometrial menstrual bleeding and cramps as well as pelvic discomfort with negative thoughts, because when your body believes it is sick, it behaves accordingly. You can definitely go the natural route to get rid of fibroids but you should not expect an overnight cure. However, lowering the amount of estrogen the body produces can also cause hot flashes or mood swings.

BACKGROUND: Ovalbumin (OVA), a protein with excellent nutritional and processing properties, is the major allergen of hen egg white. Previous study showed that high-intensity ultrasound treatment increased the IgG and IgE binding abilities by unfolding the conformational structure of OVA. It may allow modifying the IgG and IgE binding of OVA by combining high-intensity ultrasound with other methods, such as glycation, a promising method for the improvement of protein properties. RESULTS: Glycation with mannose (M) after ultrasound pretreatment at 0-600 W significantly reduced the IgG and IgE binding abilities and dramatically enhanced the antioxidant activity of OVA-M conjugates, with the lowest values of IgG and IgE binding and highest values of antioxidant capacity observed at 600W ...

The ability to quantify and qualify the progression of joint degeneration is becoming increasingly important in surgery. This paper examines the patterns of relative ultrasound reflection from normal, artificially and naturally degraded cartilage-on-bone, particularly investigating the potential of the ratio of reflection coefficients from the surface and osteochondral junction in distinguishing normal from osteoarthritic tissue. To this end, the reflection coefficients from the articular surface and osteochondral junction of normal cartilage-on-bone samples were calculated and compared to samples after the removal of proteoglycans, disruption of the collagen meshwork, delipidization of the articular surface and mechanical abrasion. Our results show that the large variation across normal and degraded joint samples negates the use of an isolated bone reflection measurement and to a lesser extent, an isolated surface reflection. The relative surface to bone reflections, calculated as a ratio of reflection
