Microfocused ultrasound with visualization: Consensus on safety and review of energy‐based devices

The independent test results of MFU-V/HIFU devices and the consensus panel conclusions provide strong support that real-time visualization and the capability to detect coupling, features found only in MFU-V, help prevent complications and enhance the safety and effectiveness of energy-based devices. The independent evaluation also revealed that MFU-V has several additional features that play key roles in safety and clinical effectiveness, including uniformity of TCPs, tight thermal regulation, large focal gain, and short beam length, that were not found collectively in any of the HIFU devices.
