Tech Overview
The focused ultrasound platform uses a transducer to focus ultrasound on a target deep in the body. The energy at focus point leads to bioeffects at the precise location without impacting surrounding tissues. System design and ultrasound parameters can be attenuated to selectively change between 27 known bioeffects to achieve desired effects such as:
- Replaces scalpel-based surgery with non-invasive alternative
- Reduces procedure time and complications and provides rapid recovery on an outpatient basis.
- Complements chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy
- Can be used with traditional therapy options to enhance treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
- Expands treatment options and patient eligibility parameters
- Provides novel therapeutic options for patients with previously non-qualifying or inoperable diseases.
