High-intensity Focused Ultrasound: Ready for Primetime

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2010
Prostate cancer (CaP) is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the United States and the incidence of CaP has remained constant at 165 cases per 100,000 men. Since 1990, the age-adjusted death rate has decreased by 31%. In this article, the authors review the current literature on the experimental therapy for HIFU.

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.

Treatment of glaucoma with high intensity focused ultrasound

International Ophthalmology, 1989
Focused high intensity therapeutic ultrasound has been used since 1982 by Coleman and all, to treat patients with uncontrollable intraocular pressure. Three mechanisms may be responsible for lowering intraocular pressure: decreased aqueous humor production in the ciliary epithelium, transscleral outflow of aqueous humor, and increased uveal outflow.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound for the Treatment of Tumors

Echocardiography, 2001
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a technique that was first investigated in the 1940s as a potential method of destroying selective regions within the brain to aid neurobehavioral studies. A beam of ultrasound can be brought to a tight focus at a distance from its source, and if sufficient energy is concentrated within the focus, the cells ...

pMUT for high intensity focused ultrasound

2012 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2012
Capacitive ultrasonic tranducers, cMUTs rely on the electrostatic field between the membrane and a back plate for sensing andactuation. This is an excellent solution for small amplitudes. But the movement of the membrane is physically limited by the bottom plate (risk of collapse).

Principles of high-intensity focused ultrasound

2016
Introduction High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), also known as focused ultrasound (US), is a non-invasive image-guided therapy which has been primarily employed in the clinical realm for non-invasive thermal ablation of benign and malignant neoplasms.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been used to precisely ablate a targeted area within the body without harming the overlying tissues. In recent years, HIFU, as a noninvasive, effective and feasible modality, has been used for cancer therapy. The development of HIFU transducer is the key technology of HIFU. This paper shows the acoustic lens
