Abstract
Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) is a totally noninvasive ablation technique that in the last years had an important development in a large number of applications: in particular gynaecological disorders, bone lesions, prostate, breast, brain and other organs. This review of MRgFUS is focused on the technical aspects and the current clinical application in musculoskeletal interventions. More precisely, this paper aims to review the relatively scarce literature on this topic also in comparison with our 3-year experience in the use of this technique in the field of musculoskeletal interventions.
