High-intensity focused ultrasound therapy: an overview for radiologists Kim YS; Rhim H; Choi MJ; Lim HK; Choi DKorean J Radiol 2008[Jul]; 9 (4): 291-302High-intensity focused ultrasound therapy is a novel, emerging, therapeutic modality that uses ultrasound waves, propagated through tissue media, as carriers of energy. This completely non-invasive technology has great potential for tumor ablation as well as hemostasis, thrombolysis and targeted drug/gene delivery. However, the application of this technology still has many drawbacks. It is expected that current obstacles to implementation will be resolved in the near future. In this review, we provide an overview of high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy from the basic physics to recent clinical studies with an interventional radiologist's perspective for the purpose of improving the general understanding of this cutting-edge technology as well as speculating on future developments.|*Ultrasonic Therapy/methods[MESH]|Drug Delivery Systems[MESH]|Gene Targeting[MESH]|Hemostatic Techniques[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Thrombolytic Therapy/methods[MESH] |
