Recent advances in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which was developed in the
1940s as a viable thermal tissue ablation approach, have increased its popularity. In clinics …

Histotripsy is a focused ultrasound therapy for non-invasive tissue ablation. Unlike thermally
ablative forms of therapeutic ultrasound, histotripsy relies on the mechanical action of …

Histotripsy is a relatively new therapeutic ultrasound technology to mechanically liquefy
tissue into subcellular debris using high-amplitude focused ultrasound pulses. In contrast to …

Nonlinear propagation causes high-intensity ultrasound waves to distort and generate
higher harmonics, which are more readily absorbed and converted to heat than the …

In high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applications, tissue may be thermally necrosed
by heating, emulsified by cavitation, or, as was recently discovered, emulsified using …

Thermal ablation is a form of hyperthermia in which oncologic control can be achieved by
briefly inducing elevated temperatures, typically in the range 50–80° C, within a target …

MR‐guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) is a quickly developing technology with
potential applications across a spectrum of indications traditionally within the domain of …

Recent studies have shown that shockwave heating and millisecond boiling in high-intensity
focused ultrasound fields can result in mechanical fractionation or emulsification of tissue …

The activation of natural gas nuclei to induce larger bubbles is possible using short
ultrasonic excitations of high amplitude, and is required for ultrasound cavitation therapies …

Cancer treatment by extracorporeal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is constrained
by the time required to ablate clinically relevant tumour volumes. Although cavitation may be …
