Abstract
Objective: The objective of this article is to introduce the reader to the principles and applications of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
Conclusion: Although a great deal about HIFU physics is understood, its clinical applications are currently limited, and multiple trials are underway worldwide to determine its efficacy.
