MR-guided focused ultrasound is proving to be a safe, effective treatment for tumors in children and young adults.

Teams of physicians are using two modalities that are very well known to radiologists—MRI and ultrasound—to design pediatric tumor interventions that are more precise and less invasive than current methods. Among others, researchers at the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Health System in Washington, D.C., and Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami are studying the use of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) for the treatment of relapsed solid tumors, benign bone tumors, and benign brain tumors in children and young adults.
