Extracorporeal application of histotripsy produced prostate debulking in all dogs. Pathological findings of collateral injury are of concern since this may represent suboptimal confinement of cavitation or heating of overlying tissue. Further study is under way to quantify the prefocal thermal fields to eliminate these effects before human application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
