  1. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) guided by MRI. Christakis Damianou Frederick Institute of Technology, MEDSONIC LTD November 9, 2006

  2. HIFU Basics. • Diagnostic ultrasound intensities: < 1 W/cm2 • HIFU intensities: 500-10000 W/cm2. • Friction with tissue causes heating. • Temperature produced is in the range of 60-100 oC. • Tumors cells are destroyed due to excessive heating. • Spherically focused ultrasound produces localized heating.

  3. MRI/HIFU System Damianou C. et al., Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology Vol. 30 (3), pp. 397-404, 2004
