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 ...

Efficacy and safety of MRI-based thrombolysis in wake-up stroke: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (WAKE-UP)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

WAKE-UP is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to test efficacy and safety of MRI-based intravenous thrombolysis in patients with wake-up stroke. Every year 1.5 million patients suffer a stroke in the EU. Up to 20% of stroke patients wake up with stroke symptoms. Currently these patients are excluded from thrombolysis which is the onl ...

Adapting Breast Cancer Screening Strategy Using Personalised Risk Estimation (ASSURE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"While early detection of breast cancer by screening appears effective, many women derive little or no benefit from screening, due to the way it is currently organized: as a one-size-fits all approach irrespective of personalised risk factors. It is known, however, that some women are at a much higher risk of getting the disease than others, and that mammography is unsuitable for cancer detection ...

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 ...
