C. Tempany et al. performed the first clinical trial of uterine fibroids using INSIGHTEC’S Exablate system and found the procedure feasible and safe.

F. Wu et al. performed the first focused ultrasound clinical trial for breast cancer, concluding it could be effective, safe, and feasible in the extracorporeal treatment of localized disease.
