Image-Guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound System for Large Animal Nerve Ablation Studies

Image-Guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound System for Large Animal Nerve Ablation Studies

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a form of thermal ablation technique, which can treat a variety of medical afflictions. One promising therapeutic use is the permanent destruction of nerves non-invasively in patients with severe spasticity or certain types of pain (e.g., phantom limb pain...
