Temperature-sensitive drug carriers are able to induce a
fast release of active drugs in the target region, which
will solve the problem of causing systemic toxicity
during traditional chemotherapy. An MRI-compatible
high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) system was
developed to perform localized hyperthermia in rodent
models. This MR-HIFU system can conduct
precise-controlled thermal therapies to allow
heat-mediated drug delivery in small animal models.
Feasibility and performance of the system is well
evaluated with phantom and in-vivo experiment.
