Treatment of Benign Thyroid Nodules With FastScan HIFU

Benign Thyroid Nodules Clinical Trial

Official title:
Treatment of Benign Thyroid Nodules With FastScan High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy of the HIFU for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules with the FastScan version using assessment of patient experience and adverse event reporting.

Clinical Trial Description

Echopulse is specially designed, manufactured and CE marked for treating benign thyroid nodules. HIFU is a completely alternative to surgery which utilizes high-energy ultrasound to deliver a large amount of sound energy to a focal point to rapidly induce tissue heating to 85-90°C.This initiates tissue coagulation followed by tissue necrosis ablating the targeted area. In a previous european feasibility study performed at 1 site (Bulgaria), 20 benign thyroid nodules were treated. The HIFU treatment was well tolerated and showed efficacy. ;
