Focused Ultrasound is a revolutionary technology that could help treat diseases that affect virtually everyone.

Focused ultrasound could:

• be the ultimate form of noninvasive surgery
• destroy tumors without making any incisions and without harm to other organs
• replace the need for most radiation treatments
• transform pharmacological therapy by delievering drugs precisely where needed without harm to the rest of the body
• dissolve blood clots and restore flow through blocked vessels

The Foundation was established to shorten the time from technology development to patient treatment; to foster new applications; and to accelerate the worldwide adoption.

The foundation engages in three primary activities: education, translational and clinical research, and the creation of a network of  research and develpment centers.

For Researchers the foundation's Research Awards can enable you to push the boundaries of what this technology can do.

Today focused ultrasound is in the early stages of its development. The foundation was founded in 2006 to help shorten the time from technology development to widespread use as a standard of care.

For Supporters think of it as a venture philanthropy.

The foundation is managed with the same, show-me-the-results discipline as a venture-backed startup.

The foundation was created to improve the lives of millions of people with life-threatening diseases by accelerating the development and adoption of focused ultrasound – a game-changing therapeutic technology that could be the most important advance since the invention of the scapel.
