BACKGROUND Laxity and wrinkles of the aging face are common cosmetic concerns.
Intense focused ultrasound (IFUS), a novel treatment modality for skin laxity, produces …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Focused ultrasound can produce thermal and/or
mechanical effects deep within tissue. We investigated the capability of intense focused …

Introduction: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) are used for
non-invasive skin tightening. Neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis have been reported to …

A literature review is provided concerning the scientific studies that have been published
involving high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as a therapeutic treatment for tumors of …

A hydrogel acoustic coupling medium was investigated as a practical alternative to water for
clinical applications of focused ultrasound (US) therapy. Material characterization and …

Background: It has been demonstrated that agar-based gel phantoms can emulate the
acoustic parameters of real tissues and are the most commonly used tissue-mimicking …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the energy efficiency of differently sized volumetric ablations in MR-
guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) treatment of uterine fibroids …

A high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device was developed for treating uterine fibroid
tumors. This prototype device enables image‐guided therapy by aligning a commercially …

This study describes the development and characterization of an agar-based soft tissue-
mimicking material (TMM) doped with wood powder destined for fabricating MRgFUS …

The attenuation of ultrasound (US) waves in biologic tissues is an important determinant of
energy absorption and wave propagation; thus, important in optimization of high-intensity …
