High intensity focused ultrasound in clinical tumor ablation
Recent advances in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which was developed in the 1940s as a viable thermal tissue ablation approach, have increased its popularity. In clinics, HIFU has been applied to treat a variety of solid malignant tumors in a well-defined volume, including the pancreas, liver, prostate, breast, uterine fibroids, and soft ...

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation by the Dual-Frequency Excitation
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has emerged as an effective and noninvasive therapeutic modality for cancer and solid tumor. Despite its promising clinical outcomes and the approval of the Food and Drug Administration of many countries, the ablation time of a large target is long, so enhancement of the lesion production is highly desired.
