focused ultrasound

Focused ultrasound is a medical technique that uses high-frequency sound waves precisely targeted at specific areas inside the body. These sound waves pass through the skin and tissues without harm, then converge on a precise point, generating heat or mechanical effects. This can be used to destroy diseased tissue, like tumors, or to temporarily alter nerve activity for pain relief or other treatments. It's a non-invasive approach, meaning no cuts or incisions are needed, making procedures safer and often reducing recovery times. Focused ultrasound leverages advanced imaging to ensure accuracy and safety during treatment.
