Feasibility study of MR-guided pancreas ablation using high-intensity focused ultrasound in a healthy swine model

Purpose Pancreatic cancer is typically diagnosed in a late stage with limited therapeutic options. For those patients, ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (US-HIFU) can improve local control and alleviate pain. However, MRI-guided HIFU (MR-HIFU) has not yet been studied extensively i...
