Synopsis

Performance of MRgFUS in pediatric patients has not been well characterized. Retrospective review of 21 MRgFUS treatments in 9 patients below the age of 18 shows significant reduction in viable tumor volume in a variety of indications including desmoid tumors, vascular malformations, and osteoid osteoma. MRgFUS is an effective ablative therapy in children that warrants further investigation.
