Frequency optimization in high intensity focused ultrasound [PDF]
2014 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2014 In high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) the choice of transducer frequency depends on the target depth and tissue type. At high frequencies attenuation does not permit enough acoustical power to be transmitted to the target whereas at low frequencies the transmitted power is not absorbed efficiently.
