MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRg HIFU) is a novel method of tissue ablation that incorporates high energy focused ultrasound for tissue heating and necrosis within an MR scanner that provides simultaneous stereotactic tissue targeting and thermometry. To date, MRg HIFU has been used primarily to treat uterine fibroids, but many additional applications in the pelvis are in development. This article reviews the basic technology of MRg HIFU, and the use of MRg HIFU to treat uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and prostate cancer.
磁共振引导高强度聚焦超声(MRg HIFU)是一种新型的组织消融方法,它将高能聚焦超声用于组织加热和坏死,该过程在一台磁共振扫描仪内进行,该扫描仪可同时提供立体定向组织靶向和温度测量。迄今为止,MRg HIFU主要用于治疗子宫肌瘤,但骨盆部位的许多其他应用也在研发中。本文综述了MRg HIFU的基本技术,以及其在治疗子宫肌瘤、子宫腺肌病和前列腺癌方面的应用。
