High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is being promoted as a noninvasive method to treat certain primary solid tumors, metastatic disease, and enhance drug delivery. The field of medicine is evolving towards increasing use of noninvasive and minimally invasive therapies such as HIFU. This article provides an overview of current clinical applications of HIFU and future requirements to expand the clinical applications of this technique.
高强度聚焦超声（HIFU）作为一种治疗某些原发性实体瘤、转移性疾病以及增强药物递送的非侵入性方法正在得到推广。医学领域正在朝着更多地使用诸如HIFU之类的非侵入性和微创治疗方法发展。本文概述了HIFU的当前临床应用以及扩大该技术临床应用的未来要求。
