High-intensity focused ultrasound therapy (HIFU) is an emerging, novel therapeutic modality that utilizes ultrasound waves. The waves propagate through tissue media as carriers of energy. HIFU is a non-invasive technology that can transport energy through a media of intervening tissues to specific targets in the body. HIFU has high potential for tumor ablation, thrombolysis, hemostasis, and targeted drug/gene delivery. The treatment of cancer is an important issue in both developed as well ... Read more
