Abstract:To provide its therapeutic effects, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment makes use of ultrasonic waves that are transmitted through tissue medium. This non-invasive technology shows capacity for a variety of medical applications, including tumor ablation, vascular coagulation, and gene and drug delivery. Nonetheless, there are many problems that can arise from using this technology. The goal of this research was to examine the effectiveness of focused HIFU treatment for prostate cancer by employi… Show more
