Abstract

PURPOSE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a potential noninvasive thermal ablation method for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. Dual-mode ultrasound arrays (DMUA) offer the possibility of simultaneous imaging and treatment. In this study, safety and feasibility of femoral artery robot-assisted HIFU/DMUA therapy was assessed.
