报告摘要
Ultrasound therapy is a medical procedurethat applies high-intensity focused sonic energy to locally heat and destroy diseasedor damaged tissue through ablation. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) isa hyperthermia therapy that uses temperature to treat diseases. Clinical HIFUprocedures are typically performed in conjunction with an imaging procedure toenable treatment planning and targeting before applying a therapeutic orablative levels of ultrasound energy. This presentation will give acomprehensive overview of the advancements of ultrasound therapy with imageguidance and demonstrate clinical applications.
