Review of Robot-Assisted HIFU Therapy
Sensors, 2023 This paper provides an overview of current robot-assisted high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) systems for image-guided therapies. HIFU is a minimally invasive technique that relies on the thermo-mechanical effects of focused ultrasound waves to ...

The efficacy of ultrasonic ablation combined with medication in the treatment of adenomyosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologyBackgroundAdenomyosis occurs when tissue from the inner lining of the endometrium grows into the muscle wall of the myometrium. Previous studies have suggested that High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) combined with medications may improve treatment ...

HIFU ultrasound power measurements at INRiM
Metrologia, 2011 In this work the new system for the ultrasound power measurement of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound transducers realized at INRIM ultrasounds laboratory is presented. The system is based on a submersible load cell that takes the place of the balance. This solution presents essentially two advantages.

Histological characterization of HIFU lesions
International Journal of HyperthermiaBackground: High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can destroy tissue by thermal ablation which may be accompanied by acoustic cavitation and/or tissue water boiling, but the biological and histological effects of these treatments have not been fully documented. Here, detailed histological analysis over time using well characterized HIFU exposures in

The Asian perspective on HIFU [PDF]
International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2021 High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) uses about 800 times the diagnostic ultrasound power, which converges at a focal point to deliver energy above 60 degrees Celsius resulting in cell death by means of coagulation necrosis and cavitation destruction.
