Microbubble -Enhanced FUS for more Efficient Therapy for Uterine Fibroids

Year: 2018

Type: preprint

Abstract: The goal of this research project will be to incorporate microbubbles intravascularly in conjunction with focused ultrasound (FUS) to decrease the time of FUS therapy of uterine fibroids. We believe that we can significantly reduce treatment times while also decreasing the mechanical energy required for tissue ablation. In addition, the use of microbubbles should provide for more precise tissue ablation of the fibroid such that viable tissue along the fibroid margins will be spared.
