HIGH INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (HIFU)

2023
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a medical technology that uses ultrasound waves to deliver focused energy at a specific target within the body. This non-invasive technique has gained recognition for its potential in various therapeutic applications. The principle behind HIFU involves using an ultrasound transducer to generate high-frequency

Development of a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) hydrophone system

IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium, 2005., 2006
In the past few years, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has developed from a scientific curiosity to an accepted therapeutic modality. Concomitant with HIFU's growing clinical use, there has been a need for reliable, economical and reproducible measurements of HIFU acoustic fields.

Hyperechogenicity during high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005
Ultrasound guidance of HIFU therapy is attractive because of its portability, low cost, real-time image processing, simple integration with HIFU instruments, and the extensive availability of diagnostic ultrasound; however, the use of ultrasound visualization for the guidance and monitoring of HIFU therapy often relies on the appearance of a ...

Focal High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

2014
Transrectal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is highly suitable for focal therapy of localized prostate cancer for several reasons. HIFU induces immediate and irreversible coagulative necrosis with sharply delineated boundaries. The treatment can be accurately targeted to a portion of the prostate gland.

Novel Non-invasive Treatment With High-intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

Ultraschall in der Medizin - European Journal of Ultrasound, 2015
Ultrasound is not only used for diagnostic purposes but it also can be applied therapeutically so far that nowadays high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) even represents a novel non-invasive treatment modality for various solid tumors. HIFU works by causing selectively deep tissue destruction of target lesions within the body without harming ...

Dual-frequency High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Accelerating Therapy

2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005
By cutting a spherical focused transducer into two coaxial and confocal transducer elements, a confocal complex transducer used in dual-frequency HIFU system was obtained. The lesion induced by dual-frequency HIFU in freshly excised porcine livers were obviously larger than that induced by conventional single-frequency HIFU at the same exposure ...
