This review article examines high-intensity focused ultrasound as a minimally invasive, non-ionizing technology for treating primary tumors and metastatic lesions under imaging guidance. The authors highlight its notable effectiveness across diverse clinical fields, including neurologic, genitourinary, hepato-pancreato-biliary, musculoskeletal, and oncologic applications. While the text outlines the broad emerging utility of HIFU in various organ systems, it does not provide specific data or detailed discussion regarding gynecological conditions such as endometriosis or adenomyosis. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a minimally-invasive and non-ionizing promising technology and has been assessed for its role in the treatment of not only primary tumors but also metastatic lesions under the guidance of ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. Its performance is notably effective in neurologic, genitourinary, hepato-pancreato-biliary, musculoskeletal, oncologic, and other miscellaneous applications. In this article, we reviewed the emerging technology of HIFU and its clinical applications.
