High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation by the Dual-Frequency Excitation

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2019
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.
