AbstractMR image-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) provides an entirely noninvasive approach for local thermal therapies. MR imaging allows target definition and continuous temperature mapping. Therefore, the heating procedure can be controlled spatially and temporally based on automatic feedback to the FUS apparatus. Phased-array ultrasound technology will further help the development. MR imaging/FUS may be applied not only for tissue ablation, but also for local drug delivery, gene therapy, and drug activation.
