Abstract:: Abstract: Blood perfusion will take away part of the tissue heat during high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment and improve its efficiency, it is necessary to consider the effects caused by blood perfusion during HIFU treatment. At present, it is observed that blood perfusion will reduce the therapeutic effect of HIFU in clinic. However, the quantification of blood perfusion and its contribution mechanism on the therapeutic effect of HIFU are still unclear. Taking HIFU ablation for uterine fibroids as an example, the effect of blood perfusion on the therapeutic effect of HIFU, the detection of blood perfusion in uterine fibroids, and how to control blood perfusion to improve the therapeutic effect of HIFU are summarized in the study, aiming to clarify the effect of blood perfusion on the therapeutic effect of HIFU, and provide a reference for the clinical control and use of blood perfusion to improve the therapeutic effect of HIFU.
