Focused ultrasound transducer spatial peak intensity estimation: a comparison of methods.
(2018-03-07)
Characterisation of the spatial peak intensity at the focus of high intensity focused ultrasound transducers is difficult because of the risk of damage to hydrophone sensors at the high focal pressures generated. Hill et ...
Guidelines for Cleaning Transvaginal Ultrasound Transducers Between Patients.
(2017-05)
The purpose of this article is to provide guidance regarding the cleaning and disinfection of transvaginal ultrasound probes. These recommendations are also applicable to transrectal probes.
'Relationship between thermal dose and cell death for "rapid" ablative and "slow" hyperthermic heating'.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-01-01)
AIM: Thermal isoeffective dose (TID) has not been convincingly validated for application to predict biological effects from rapid thermal ablation (e.g., using >55 °C). This study compares the classical method of quantifying ...
Evaluation of Quality of Life Outcomes Following Palliative Treatment of Bone Metastases with Magnetic Resonance-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound: An International Multicentre Study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-04-01)
AIMS: To determine quality of life (QoL) outcomes after palliation of pain from bone metastases using magnetic resonance-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-guided HIFU), measured using the European Organization ...
MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) for treating recurrent gynaecological tumours: a pilot feasibility study.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2019-05-16)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of targeting recurrent gynaecological tumours with MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU). METHODS: 20 patients with recurrent gynaecological tumours were prospectively ...
A comprehensive model for heat-induced radio-sensitisation.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017-07-05)
Combined radiotherapy (RT) and hyperthermia (HT) treatments may improve treatment outcome by heat induced radio-sensitisation. We propose an empirical cell survival model (AlphaR model) to describe this multimodality ...
Trans-abdominal in vivo placental vessel occlusion using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-09-11)
Pre-clinically, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has been shown to safely and effectively occlude placental blood vessels in the acute setting, when applied through the uterus. However, further development of the ...
