High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation as a treatment for benign thyroid diseases: the present and future
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising ablation technique for benign thyroid nodules. Current evidence has found good short- to medium-term outcomes, similar to those of better-established ablation techniques such as radiofrequency and laser ablation. The fact that it does not requi...
