HIFU Technology
HIFU technology uses a high-intensity
convergent ultrasound beam generated by high power transducers
to produce heat. HIFU is intended to allow the surgeon to
destroy a well-defined area of diseased tissue without damaging
intervening tissue, thus eliminating the need for incisions,
transfusions, general anesthesia and their resulting complications.
