Trans-cranial Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused UltraSound (tcMRgFUS) system integrated with a 1.5T: an SNR study on DQA phantoms
2018
Background: In recent years transcranial Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (tcMRgFUS) treatments have been performed only using 3T units. Since following some internal analysis, planning images obtained using a 1.5T MRI’s body RF coil (as usually done with 3T systems) showed generally reasonable quality in terms of anatomy visualization and SNR but thermal images noise was above acceptable standard for treatments, a dedicated 2-channels head coil was developed (InSightec Ltd.) to ensure an adequate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Hence, we present the imaging protocol and the technological methods successfully used with the world-first installation of a certified tcMRgFUS sy…

LE SEQUENZE T2-FLAIR E DWI NELLA DIAGNOSI DI ENCEFALOPATIA DI WERNICKE NON ALCOOL- CORRELATA
2013
SCOPO DEL LAVORO Valutare l’accuratezza delle immagini T2-FLAIR e DWI nello studio delle lesioni caratteristiche dell’Encefalopatia di Wernicke. MATERIALI E METODI Studio effettuato su donna di 56 anni, affetta da Encefalopatia di Wernicke non alcool-correlata. Nel Dicembre 2011 la paziente è stata sottoposta ad esame RM, utilizzando un tomografo operante a 1,5 T con acquisizione di scansioni sui piani assiale, sagittale e coronale in tecnica Spin-Echo (SE), Fast Spin-Echo (FSE), Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) e Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), con sequenze T1 e T2 pesate. L’esame è stato completato dopo infusione e.v. di m.d.c. paramagnetico. L’indagine mostrava la presenza…

Titolo corso: “Attualità in ginecologia e ostetricia 2013” Sede: Splendid Hotel La Torre - Palermo (PA) Data: 8 Marzo 2013 Intervento: Terapia dei fibromi con ultrasuoni e RMN (FUS) Relatore: Dott. Cesare Gagliardo
Ultrasuoni focalizzati ad alta intensità su guida RM (MRgFUS) per il trattamento dei fibromi uterini sintomatici: la nostra esperienza
2015
I fibromi uterini rappresentano il più comune tumore benigno del tratto genitale femminile in età riproduttiva. Sebbene siano spesso del tutto asintomatici, in circa la metà dei casi possono essere responsabili di sintomi debilitanti quali menometrorragia, dismenorrea, anemia, dolore, pressione pelvica, disturbi urinari, costipazione, dispareunia ed infertilità. Diversi approcci sono oggi disponibili per il trattamento dei fibromi uterini, sia farmacologici che chirurgici; tra questi l’MRgFUS rappresenta, in casi selezionati, una tecnica sicura, efficace e non invasiva in grado di preservare la fertilità della donna. Tale tecnica combina la tecnologia della risonanza magnetica (RM), in…
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING–GUIDED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND THALAMOTOMY IN PATIENT WITH TREMOR COMBINED WITH PARKINSONISM: RETREATMENT AFTER BENEFIT DECAY
2019
Background In recent years, transcranial Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused UltraSounds (tcMRgFUS) treatments for functional neurological disorders are giving a new thrust to the field of therapeutic brain lesioning. This technique has been proven safe and effective in selected patients. Here we present the case of a patient affected by tremor combined with parkinsonism who underwent a second tcMRgFUS thalamotomy because of relapsing tremor after a few months from the first tcMRgFUS treatment. Materials and Methods A 72-year-old, right-handed man, who came to our observation because of a disabling tremor affecting mainly his upper right limb and refusing any invasive surgical procedure. His …
TRANS-FUSIMO: preliminary in-vivo animal results of MR-guided focused ultrasound of liver under respiratory motion
2019
Purpose: Treating liver tumors using Focused Ultrasound (FUS) is a great challenge. Prior to human applications, an in-vivo animal trial using the TRANS-FUSIMO treatment system (TTS) is ongoing in order to evaluate the safety and the technical efficacy and efficiency of generating predefined necrotic lesions. Methods and Materials: The trial includes a crossbred porcine model of thirty large white swine (all females; 55-85Kg) that will be treated using the TTS under general anaesthesia with intubation. All treatments haven been performed under ventilator-controlled breathing and using an improved non-clinical prototype FUS transducer integrated with a 1,5T MRI unit; a set of interventional …
Preliminary magnetic resonance relaxometric analysis of Fricke gel dosimeters produced with polyvinyl alcohol and glutaraldehyde
2017
This work describes the preliminary analysis of Fricke gels dosimeters characterized by a new formulation making use of a matrix of polyvinyl alcohol cross-linked by adding glutaraldehyde and analyzed by means of nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry. In previous optical studies, these gels have shown promising dosimetric features in terms of photon sensitivity and low diffusion of ferric ions produced after irradiation. In this work, we used a portable nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometer to measure the relaxation times (which are important for dosimetric applications) of these gel materials. For this purpose, we performed a study for optimizing the acquisition parameters with a nuclear…
