Guided imagery (also known as guided affective imagery, or katathym-imaginative psychotherapy) is a mind-body intervention by which a trained practitioner or teacher helps a participant or patient to evoke and generate mental images [1] that simulate or recreate the sensory perception [2] [3] of sights, [4] [5] sounds, [6] tastes, [7] smells, [8] movements, [9] and images associated with touch ...
Imagery Rescripting is an experiential therapeutic technique that uses imagery and imagination to intervene in traumatic memories. [1] The process is guided by a therapist who works with the client to define ways to work with particular traumatic memories, images, or nightmares.
This is known as Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). These procedures generally use lower frequencies than medical diagnostic ultrasound (from 0.7 to 2 MHz), but higher the frequency means lower the focusing energy. HIFU treatment is often guided by MRI.
EMDR adds a number of non-scientific practices to exposure therapy. [8] EMDR is classified as one of the "power therapies" alongside thought field therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques and others – so called because these therapies are marketed as being superior to established therapies which preceded them.
Therapeutic ultrasound in medicine ranges from extracorporeal shockwave therapy for the breaking of renal calculi to HIFU in which tumors are ablated. In the research field, use of ultrasound is being explored as a mechanism of enhancing drug delivery, sorting particles, and measuring properties of tissue.
Electronic portal imaging is the process of using digital imaging, such as a CCD video camera, liquid ion chamber and amorphous silicon flat panel detectors to create a digital image with improved quality and contrast over traditional portal imaging. The benefit of the system is the ability to capture images, for review and guidance, digitally ...
Systematic desensitization, (relaxation training paired with graded exposure therapy), is a behavior therapy developed by the psychiatrist Joseph Wolpe.It is used when a phobia or anxiety disorder is maintained by classical conditioning.
Most image-guided surgical procedures are minimally invasive. A field of medicine that pioneered and specializes in minimally invasive image-guided surgery is interventional radiology. A hand-held surgical probe is an essential component of any image-guided surgery system as it provides the surgeon with a map of the designated area. [8]
