High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablates prostate tissue using targeted ultrasound energy while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.
Have you ever used a magnifying glass to burn a small hole in a leaf? The same principle is at work with HIFU!
Instead of sunlight as the energy source, HIFU utilizes sound. Instead of a magnifying glass, HIFU utilizes a transducer to direct and focus the energy.
With Sonablate® state-of-the-art technology, HIFU can be used to ablate (heat and destroy) targeted tissue in a procedure that is customized to each patient’s diagnosis and clinical needs.
