Aim: Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) is an invasive treatment able to control local disease and pain of bone tumors. Unfortunately, there is not any scientific evidence of the biological effect of MRgFUS treatment on tumor cells, especially in lower dose region, where tissues are only warmed to sub-lethal temperatures. Here we investigate the effect of in vitro MRgFUS treatment, at different levels of acoustic energy (200–630 J), on ...
