Pain management treatments of patients with bone metastases have either efficacy problems or significant side effects. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation has recently proved to be of palliative value. Magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) uses focused ultrasonic energy to non-invasively create a heat-coagulated lesion deep within the body in a controlled, accurate manner. The surgeon can monitor and control energy deposition in real time. This technology represents a potential treatment modality in oncological surgery. We investigated the ability of two MRgFUS methods to accurately and safely target and ablate soft tissue at its interface with bone.
