Ultrasound can be used for interventional treatment of polycystic kidney disease.

Patient's question:

My young nephew is now 7 years old. Today, he went for a physical examination and was diagnosed with polycystic liver and polycystic kidney disease. His sister was so worried that she sat on the ground. It is said that magnetic resonance intervention is very effective for treating polycystic kidney disease. Can it be completely cured?

Doctor's answer:

With the advancement of medical technology, magnetic resonance intervention has emerged as a new disease treatment method. As a branch of modern magnetic resonance medicine, magnetic resonance intervention technology was officially established at the World Magnetic Resonance Intervention Meeting held in Copenhagen in 1983. This is a new technology that extends from magnetic resonance imaging, further meeting the needs of clinical diagnosis, confirmation, and treatment. Its main features include the completion of various needle biopsies, X-ray angiography, and procedures such as aspiration, catheterization, and anesthetic treatment under real-time magnetic resonance monitoring or guidance. It can prevent certain surgical operations and achieve effects comparable to or surpassing those of surgery.
