Opis

MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery is the first publication on this new technology, and presents a variety of current and future clinical applications in tumor ablation treatment. This source helps surgeons and specialists evaluate, analyze, and utilize MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery-bridging the gap between phase 3 clinical trials and the expansion to clinical practice-by exploring fundamental principles and future clinical applications using this new therapeutic method.

The only source to examine this new treatment therapy examines uses of MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery for treating cancer patients, managing uterine fibroids, and for noninvasive thermal coagulation of tumors…explores using MRI-guided FUS as a replacement for invasive and minimally-invasive surgeries and radiation therapy…gives an in-depth analysis of real-time, image controlled , closed loop-feedback based non-invasive therapy delivery systems… provides straightforward and concise summaries relating to current clinical trials and potential methods for widespread and future use
