Improving lives by making focused ultrasound available in the shortest time possible.
What is focused ultrasound?
Focused ultrasound is the most powerful sound you will never hear, but a sound that could save your life.
Like a magnifying glass focusing beams of light on a single point, focused ultrasound concentrates ultrasound energy on a target in the body without harming healthy surrounding tissue.
What can focused ultrasound treat?
Focused ultrasound is being researched for over 180 diseases worldwide. While most are in the early stages, commercial treatment is now available in the US for essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease, osteoid osteoma, pain from bone metastases, liver tumors, uterine fibroids, and the prostate. Globally, 31 diseases have earned regulatory approval.
