High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Technique for Ablation Various Disease Treatments Guided by Ultrasound

Thus far, the high intensity focused ultrasound technique has no side effects; therefore, it has become the superior method compared to conventional methods due to its safety, accessibility, efficiency and precision. The high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technique is powerful and able to treat vascular diseases like atherosclerosis compared to other method of treatments such as medication and surgery treatment. The HIFU technique will contribute greatly to the reduction and elimination of these diseases and is easily treatable. The HIFU technique will be used in various therapeutic and clinical applications. Treatment of prostate tumor, breast tumor, uterine fibroids, liver tumor, renal tumor, and pancreatic cancer has become noninvasively ablated. The main function of the HIFU technique is to maximize energy-accumulation at the target area in order to induce significant biological reactions without causing harm to the intervening tissues such as the skin and the tissues surrounding the target area. The HIFU technique is an approach that can produce various biological effects to treat the target tissue using thermal/ mechanical mechanism interactions.
