High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1994
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a technology that permits the use of ultrasound waves used for imaging and then focuses them as one would use a magnifying glass to focus sunlight. The ultrasound energy is absorbed by tissue and converted to heat and can be used to ablate tissue.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound-Responsive and Ultrastable Cerasomal Perfluorocarbon Nanodroplets for Alleviating Tumor Multidrug Resistance and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.

ACS Nano, 2020
Hypoxia is a hostile hallmark of most solid tumors, which often leads to multidrug resistance (MDR) and causes the failure of chemotherapy. Hypoxia also promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), leading to acceleration of tumor metastasis.

Hemostasis using high intensity focused ultrasound

European Journal of Ultrasound, 1999
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been shown to be an effective method of hemostasis, in animal studies, for both solid organs and blood vessels. Two distinct effects of HIFU, thermal and mechanical, appear to contribute to hemostasis. Acoustic hemostasis may provide an effective method in surgery and prehospital settings for treating trauma

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

2017
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an effective noninvasive procedure for the focal treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). The possibility of inducing precise coagulative necrosis of the tumor with sharp boundaries makes HIFU one of the best options for focal therapy.
