The precision of IGRT is significantly improved when technologies that were originally developed for image-guided surgery, such as the N-localizer [6] and Sturm-Pastyr localizer, [7] are used in conjunction with these medical imaging technologies. SRT provides a Non-Surgical Alternative for Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer & an Effective Solution for ...

These techniques are known as Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) [32] [33] and Ultrasound guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (USgFUS) respectively. [ 1 ] [ 34 ] MRgFUS is a 3D imaging technique which features high soft tissue contrast and provides information about temperature, thus allowing to monitor ablation.
