Dr. Michael Kolios, an Associate Professor in Ryerson University’s Department of Physics and a Tier II Canada Research Chair in the Biomedical Applications of Ultrasound is examining how dying cancer cells scatter sound in ultrasound procedures. (PhysOrg.com) -- It’s hard to imagine that cells...
作者: Researcher Investigates Ultrasound Use to Treat Cancer Cancer news 摘要: It's hard to imagine that cells and sound are related, but they are. According to one Ryerson University researcher, this relationship could mean big changes in cancer treatment, including more effective treatment ...
Physics - Medical PhysicsIt is proposed to treat cancer by the combination of a strong magnetic field with intense ultrasound. At the low electrical conductivity of tissue the magnetic field is not frozen into the tissue, and oscillates against the tissue which is brought into rapid oscillation ...
Ultrasounds are often used in cancer treatment protocols, e.g. to collect tumor tissues in the right location using ultrasound-guided biopsy, to image the region of the tumor using more affordable and easier to use apparatus than MRI and CT, or to ablate tumor tissues using HIFU. The effica...
to treat cancer as they disseminate throughout the body, destroying cancer cells and reducing tumor volumes. However, most of these anti-neoplastic agents are insoluble or poorly soluble in water. They are highly toxic and lack the ability to differentiate between cancerous and healthy cells. ...
High-intensity focused ultrasound in the treatment of experimental liver cancer. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) was used to treat Morris rat hepatoma 3924A implanted in the liver. Treatment was administered with a lens-focused 4-MHz transducer that created a focused beam of 550 W/cm2 ...

June 5, 2023 — UMC Utrecht researchers in the Netherlands are starting two new projects to treat cancer with image-guided interventions. For one research project, they are using MRI-guided radiotherapy, for the other ultrasound techniques. Their projects are made possible by KWF Dutch Canc...
A low-frequency ultrasound has been used to treat various conditions since the 1950s. Among the FDA-approved uses of a therapeutic ultrasound are: Cancer Uterine fibroids Glaucoma Kidney stones Plantar fasciitis Liposuction Bone fractures There can be some significant side effects of using an ultrasou...
Over the last decade, one Columbia professor has been a leader in unleashingultrasound’s full potential in fighting disease. Biomedical engineer Elisa Konofagou and her team are using the technology to burn away breast cancer cells, assess the health of a heart, determine the size of an aneurys...
