Pediatric Magnetic Resonance High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU)

A Magnetic Resonance High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) is a procedure in which a radiologist uses the aid of magnetic resonance imaging to focus an ultrasound beam into lesions, usually tumors of the bone, to heat and destroy the tissue in that region. There are no incisions to the skin at all.
