High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
2017High-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.

High-intensity Focused Ultrasound: Ready for Primetime
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2010Prostate 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-Energy Shockwaves and Extracorporeal High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
Journal of Endourology, 2003We review the physical interactions of focused ultrasound with tissue, describe technical features of current high-energy shockwave (HESW) and extracorporeal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) devices, and summarize the experimental and human data available to date. Tissue destruction by extracorporeal HIFU is not new: the first clinical attempts

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
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-frequencyFranco Orsi, Gianluca Maria Varano

pMUT for high intensity focused ultrasound
2012 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2012Capacitive 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).

[High-intensity focused ultrasound transducer].
Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi, 2011High-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

Ultrasound imaging for high intensity focused ultrasound therapy
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005We have investigated the use of ultrasound-based imaging to develop a non-invasive, safe and real-time method of guidance and monitoring for HIFU therapy. HIFU application was synchronized with the imaging frame rate to allow interference-free visualization of the region of interest.

Focal High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
2014Transrectal 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.

Principles of high-intensity focused ultrasound
2016Introduction 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.
