A Feasibility Study of Magnetic Resonance-guided High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) Used for Mild Hyperthermia in Human Subjects
This study will help to elucidate the treatment sites in the extremities and pelvis for
which MR-guided HIFU heating is feasible, which has the potential to be beneficial for
patients with conditions at those sites (soft tissue sarcoma, cervical cancer, etc.). The
investigators anticipate that successful completion of this study will lead to clinical
trials in those feasible sites of interest to determine the safety and efficacy of
administering therapeutic levels of heat for hyperthermia or other applications.

Inclusion Criteria:
- At least 18 years of age
- Willing and able to provide informed consent
- Patients only: must have a tumor in extremity muscle tissue or in the pelvis.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Contraindications for MRI (e.g., unsafe MRI implanted devices, shrapnel, history of
metal fragments in eyes, neurostimulators, excessive size and weight, claustrophobia)
- Pregnant
