MR guided HIFU
high intensity focused ultrasound.
Necrosis of fibroids without surgery
leiomyoma – uterine fibroid is non malignant but very incapacitating.
Ok. So there is mri, ultra sound directed on the prone patient inside the machine. Painless, non-invasive, targeted, non-anesthetic, ends in 3 hours.
The hifu heats the tumor to 60 degrees, it undergoes necrosis and get absorbed gradually. Reduced symptoms in 1 month.
So after voxel by voxel sonication, there's 80%+ non perfused volume.
Scars don't have blood, so it could burn. But there are scar patch beams
better quality of life!
