HIFU stands for high intensity focused ultrasound, which is a minimally invasive technique for treating diseased tissue with precise, focused ultrasound waves that raise the temperature of the target to nearly 90 degrees Celsius (195 degrees Fahrenheit) in 2-3 seconds. This rapid-firing heat effectively destroys the targeted tissue but leaves the surrounding healthy tissue intact.
