Abstract:
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a newly-developed noninvasive technique recently. Being a safe, non-radioactive and reproducible therapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound has been extensively used in the clinical treatment for a variety of solid tumors such as uterine adenomyosis. This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about this technique, focusing on the mechanism, clinical indications and contraindications, safety, efficacy and the complications of HIFU for the treatment of uterine adenomyosis.
