High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is the precise application of
intense levels of acoustic energy for therapeutic ultrasound or the deliberate ablation
of targeted tissue. Blatek has collaborated on several research projects to develop
advanced medical HIFU transducers. We have the capabilities and experience to custom
design and fabricate HIFU transducers to meet your specific applications. The
table below shows some of the typically configured parameters to consider when specifying
a HIFU device.
