Clinical Translation of Patient-Specific Planning and Conduction of FUS Treatment in Moving Organs (TRANS-FUSIMO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) combines high intensity focused ultrasound for thermal ablation of diseased tissue with MR imaging to visualise the tumour and surrounding anatomy and to provide MR thermal feedback.However, MRgFUS treatment of the liver and other abdominal organs present tremendous technological challenges, including motion due to breathing and shielding of the target ...

Patient specific modelling and simulation of focused ultrasound in moving organs (FUSIMO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
In recent years, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound and Focused Ultrasound (FUS) have become frequent tools for non-invasive benign tumour therapy. Applications in the treatment of fibroadenoma of uterus has become commercial and passed FDA clearance in 2004 and sonication of bone metastasis has obtained a CE mark. Other tumours are under preclinical (prostate, kidney) and clinical (breast, brain a ...
