Abstract
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been used to precisely ablate a targeted area within the body without harming the overlying tissues. In recent years, HIFU, as a noninvasive, effective and feasible modality, has been used for cancer therapy. The development of HIFU transducer is the key technology of HIFU. This paper shows the acoustic lens transducer, spherical auto-focused transducer, pluralistic auto-focused transducer and the electronic phased array transducer in HIFU treatment, and the performance of each of the four HIFU transducers was evaluated.
