The concept of the MRI-guided FUS is similar to
that of a magnifying glass. Magnifying glasses capture
light and converge it to one point, gathering enough
heat to light a fire. Using this concept of a magnifying
glass, FUS gathers and converges ultrasonic waves
to one point and treats the tumors and myomata with
the gathered energy. The MRgFUS method has been
studied and used for ten years, and with the help
of MRI images and advanced technology, the myomata
are able to be treated without direct surgical contact
and hence leaving no visible scars.
