Real-time and multimodality image-guided intelligent HIFU therapy for uterine fibroid.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy represents a noninvasive surgical approach to treat uterine fibroids. The operation of HIFU therapy relies on the information provided by medical images. In current HIFU therapy, all operations such as positioning of the lesion in magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound (US) images are manually performed by specifically trained doctors. Manual processing is an important limitation of the efficiency of HIFU therapy. In this paper, we aim to provide an automatic and accurate image guidance system, intelligent diagnosis, and treatment strategy for HIFU therapy by combining multimodality information. Methods: In intelligent HIFU therapy, medical information and treatment strategy are automatically processed and generated
