Full textThe main objective of the project concerns the study of new HIFU transducers for therapy using MRI guidance. The first sub-project aims the characterization of a HIFU probe for the treatment of the varices and the optimization of the shooting parameters according to the vein depth in the tissue. Acoustic measurements with a hydrophone were carried out in order to confirm the creation of a focalization line. An ex-vivo study using human excised veins was realized using high resolution MRI temperature control in order measure efficiency and security parameters. The second part is a study of a sector switching probe for prostate cancer treatment. The method used by Ablatherm was compared with the sector switching method, by alternating the two sectors of the probe. Results show that the lesion shape and the dimensions are the same for the two methods, but the time saving is 20% for the sector switching probe. A dynamic focalization probe for the prostate cancer treatment was studied for the last experimental part. In vitro and in vivo validation was carried out. Focal points at several distances (between 32 mm and 69 mm with respect to the probe) were obtained and sequences describing lines, splits and volumes were tested. The temperature and thermal dose maps show that the sonication strategy is adequate for inducing a homogenous lethal dose of the desired form. A treatment better adapted to the anatomy of each patient can be performed with this technique. The MRI allowed us to measure in a non-invasive manner and in real time the temperature within tissues subject to ultrasonic shooting and to visualize both the ablated volume and the adjacent tissues

Full textTreatment with Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) combined with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) control is a promising method for xxx thermotherapy on patient free breathing. A technological solution for improving the transfer of electrical power to the ultrasonic transducer around a adjustable impedance matching system has been achieved. A chapter was devoted to the characterization of transducers acoustic field by measure and simulation. The last two chapters concern the development of software tools around the MRI. A method to determinate the thermal parameters of tissues heated, useful to compute an optimal temperature control was developed. Finally, a feasibility study has been conducted on the combination of fast ultrasound motion estimation with robust MRI motion estimation, this to improve the quality of the motion tracking

Full textCurrently, management options for locally advanced pancreatic tumors are extremely limited. Surgical resection cannot be considered due to the non-reconstructible vascular involvement of the tumor. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments have demonstrated their potential in the palliative treatment of pancreatic cancers. The thesis project focuses on the definition of HIFU treatment parameters that induce necrosis of the targeted pancreatic parenchyma while preserving the vascular permeability of an artery included in the destroyed area, using an intraoperative therapy probe with a toroidal transducer and an integrated ultrasound imaging probe. For the assessment of arterial flow, real-time Doppler imaging monitoring was developed during the HIFU procedure. Treatment parameters were chosen to allow acquisition of the Doppler signal between HIFU emission phases with a duty cycle of 40% therapy time and 60% imaging time, for a total duration of 900 seconds. A perfused model was used to evaluate the impact of in vitro treatment parameters on the lesion induced. The lesions obtained with the application of the duty cycle were on average 20% smaller than the lesions without duty cycle, but this reduction was considered acceptable regarding to the safety benefit of treatment with Doppler imaging. A first preclinical study demonstrated the occurrence of reversible arterial spasm following repeated HIFU treatments on the targeted artery. Thermal ablations of approximately 20 mm in diameter were generated around the targeted artery without causing definitive vascular occlusion or thrombosis in the short and medium term. Nevertheless, with a perspective of using this HIFU treatment in humans and thus with the objective of ensuring the safety of the treatment, a predictive tool for arterial spasm has been developed. New studies have identified alterations in the arterial signal during HIFU treatment, reflected by the appearance of a turbulent component upstream of the treated area before the arterial spasm occurs. A tool based on signal dissimilarity was developed and patented based on these signal changes. The acceleration of these modifications allowed to anticipate the arterial spasm in real time and thus a feedback on the HIFU treatment. Preclinical studies allowed to define a threshold on this acceleration beyond which the appearance of stenosis seemed systematic if the treatment was carried out. Depending on the parameters applied, tissue necrosis up to 17 mm in diameter was induced in the pancreatic tissue and around the target vessel without induction of arterial spasm and while maintaining vascular patency. Doppler imaging associated with the real-time tool confirmed the persistence of arterial flow during HIFU treatments. These safe and effective preclinical treatments allow us to consider a Phase I-II clinical trial evaluating HIFU destruction of locally advanced tumors of 10 to 15 mm in diameter in humans

Full textAfter a “state of art” on bone lesions ablation techniques, bone experimentations presented showed that deep focalisation allows the best lateral periosteal heating. On cement, from which the coefficient α was measured, the same thermic curves were observed. A simulation was done with two values of α (4.7 et 9.9 dB/cm). A higher heating at the periosteal focal point with superficial focalisation and a higher periosteal lateral heating with deep focalisation with a thermic inertia, were confirmed with simulation. Heating was higher with the high α value. A retrospective analysis of the bone lesions treated with minimally invasive treatment showed that 50% of osteoid osteomas and 35.7% of metastases were classified as suitable with MRgHIFU alone. 35.9% additional cases may have been treated with dissection or consolidation. At 1 MHz, US distortion due to the presence of needles in the US cone was observed only with the 13-gauge needle. However, if 18 to 22G needles may induce few distortion, an acoustic barrier may appear if the liquid injected flows in front of the US

Full textHigh Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is a non-invasive and non-ionizing method for ablation of solid tumors. However, intra-abdominal organ motion, mainly due to breathing, is a major hurdle for proper targeting of the tumor. In this context, an all-in-one HIFU robotized system with motion compensation in real-time during HIFU treatment was developed. To this aim, an ultrasound visual servoing working at a frequency of 20 Hz, relying on a fast ultrasonic speckle tracking method for motion estimation, was designed. It uses an interleaved imaging/HIFU sonication sequence, with duty cycle of 80 %, in order to avoid wave interferences. The robotized HIFU system was tested on a tissue mimicking phantom undergoing a 1D and a 2D sinusoidal motion. As a result, motion reduction of more than 80 % in 1D for a frequency of 0.25 Hz and more than 90 % in 2D for a frequency of 0.1 Hz was obtained. However, it couldn't be observed a significant effect of motion compensation on the lesions induced by HIFU

Full textA novel thermal approach to treat non-invasively incompetent veins with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is presented in this thesis.The ability to occlude small veins was first investigated. Two different sonication procedures were evaluated by numerical simulations and tested in vivo on rabbit veins. The histologic examination of the treated veins demonstrated the efficacy of the treatments, especially when the vein was compressed during ultrasonic exposures.A new procedure was then designed in order to coagulate larger veins, closer to human vein diameters. Experimental temperature measurements at the vein wall during HIFU pulses were used as inputs to determine numerically the optimum spacing between the pulses in order to induce a continuous coagulation along the vein. Acute animal trials on sheep veins were conducted to quantify tissue damages following such treatments. Finally, chronic studies up to 90 days were conducted on sheep in order to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of our treatment procedure. The histological findings validated the performance and safety of our HIFU thermal method, in a sheep model. From a pathology standpoint, the HIFU lesions are similar to those observed after radiofrequency ablation (an endovenous thermal modality used for the treatment of varicose veins).The results presented in this thesis allowed Theraclion to get the authorization to conduct first-in-human clinical trials for varicose vein treatments. The results were very encouraging and led to the CE-marking of the HIFU system

Full textThis manuscript aims at discussing the complex issue of modeling high-intensity focused ultrasound thermal ablations. An acoustical simulation method, based on the use of the k-Wave library, is described and applied to the description of the interaction between the acoustic beam and the superficial tissue layers. It is validated in the linear domain based on hydrophone measurements realized in different configurations with biological samples. Nonlinear simulations are subsequently used to evaluate the influence of the tissue geometry on the beam focusing.The thermal modeling of the treatment is then discussed with intent to design a truly quantitative model. An equivalent model of the modified heat deposition pattern in presence of boiling is presented and validated based on the use of original, diverse and unexpensive data.Finally, an algorithm is proposed to optimize the focal spot trajectory in order to maximize the heat deposition efficiency, thus reducing treatment time. The advantages and the limits of the approach are discussed based on different examples

Full textHigh-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment modality for solid tumors that provides a localized destruction of deep tissues. The work in this manuscript describes the development of treatment strategies and the design of a toroidal HIFU transducer dedicated to the non-invasive treatment of liver tumors. First, an existing toroidal HIFU device designed for an intraoperative treatment of liver tumors was used to expand the prospects for intraoperative treatment of tumors localized at the hepato-caval confluence. This treatment approach was evaluated in a preclinical study and showed the feasibility of the procedure and the tolerance of the treatment. This same device was then used to evaluate the feasibility of a completely non-invasive HIFU treatment with a toroidal transducer. The feasibility and safety of this non-invasive treatment was demonstrated in a preclinical study in the porcine model. This work highlighted the need for personalized non-invasive HIFU treatments to spare healthy intermediate tissues. Based on these experiences, a new targeting system was developed to ensure an accurate targeting of non-invasive HIFU treatments performed near risky structures. The performance of the new system has been demonstrated on two in vivo protocols for the treatment of the TTTS (Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome) and bladder trigone tumors. A new HIFU treatment device was then designed and developed for the non-invasive treatment of liver tumors. The specific cut of this truncated toroidal transducer allows an enlargement of the treated volume without mechanical displacement of the transducer. The therapeutic performance of this device has been evaluated on in vitro and in vivo experiments in the porcine model. This work represents the first step of a non-invasive treatment of hepatic tumors with a toroidal HIFU transducer

Full textThe aim of this work was to propose an improvement of HIFU efficacy and safety in highly perfused and mobile organs, using rapid and volumetric MRI thermometry. A first study proposed a quantitative estimation of thermal parameters in pig kidney ex vivo, treated by HIFU, under different arterial flow condition. The excellent correspondence between rapid thermo-MRI and the BHT showed that this model is applicable for describing the spatio-temporal evolution of temperature in highly perfused organ. Secondarily, the possibility to perform rapid and volumetric temperature monitoring, in real time, of HIFU ablations in the kidney and liver was tested. This monitoring was feasible with an excellent spatio-temporal resolution and calculation of thermal dose confirmed that the letal value could be reached in highly perfused and mobile organs. Moreover, it was possible to create necrotic area in kidney and liver without skin bun. Finally, continue volumetric sonication, using thermal diffusivity, allowed an increasing of ablated tissue volume in a limited time. Recent improvements in rapid imaging techniques and optimization of the motion correction might significantly improve the performances of HIFU ablation and allow its use soon in clinical practice
