Therapeutic Assessment of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus by Active Dynamic Thermal Imaging and Hyperspectral Imaging—A Preliminary Study
“…Functional and specific imaging can also be achieved by using new contrast enhancing agents, such as microbubbles [29]. Another important development in ultrasound's medical application is the therapeutic use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which also uses the microbubbles [30]. HIFU allows selective ablation of targets inside the body with little collateral damages to the surrounding tissue.…”
