High-Intensity-Focused Ultrasound: Changing the Face of Body Sculpting

Noninvasive procedures that utilize high-intensity-focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the percutaneous ablation of targeted tissues is increasingly being used for the management of an array of oncological and nononcological conditions and has been investigated for new uses such as noninvasive subcutaneous adipose tissue ablation. Once adipocytes have been ablated with HIFU, macrophages are attracted...

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

INTRODUCTION Curative treatments for localized prostate cancer, from least invasive to most invasive, include brachytherapy, cryosurgery, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, external beam radiation therapy, and radical prostatectomy. A patient with localized, low risk or intermediate risk prostate cancer who is diagnosed at an early age and receives one of these treatments has only a...

Thermography in High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation

Application of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in therapeutic medicine has started in the 1950s for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. With the development of medical diagnosis, such as ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), automatic control, imaging processing and electrical technology, extracorporeal and intrarectal HIFU systems have been developed for clinical ...
