High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a new thermoablation technique used to treat benign thyroid nodules. In this method, the ultrasound beam passes through the patient's skin and focuses very precisely on the target lesion at a distance far from the source of ultrasound generation, making HIFU the only truly non-invasive method of thermoablation developed to date. HIFU is therefore an attractive alternative to surgery and other thermoablative techniques. This review describes the principles of HIFU treatment, the selection of patients suitable for HIFU, the course and effects of treatment, and future perspectives.
高强度聚焦超声(HIFU)是一种用于治疗良性甲状腺结节的新型热消融技术。在这种方法中,超声束穿过患者的皮肤,并在远离超声产生源的一定距离处非常精确地聚焦于目标病变,这使得HIFU成为迄今为止开发的唯一真正非侵入性的热消融方法。因此,HIFU是手术和其他热消融技术的一种有吸引力的替代方法。本文综述了HIFU治疗的原理、适合HIFU治疗的患者选择、治疗过程和效果以及未来展望。
