Sonalleve MR-HIFU facilitates efficient treatment with volumetric heating. To heat large volumes, the focused ultrasound beam is rapidly scanned over the volume to be ablated, creating an ellipsoidal, homogeneous thermal lesion. You can adjust it up to 16mm wide and 40mm length and achieve a macroscopic ablation zone within seconds. Large target volumes are covered with multiple heating events.
