What is the history of HIFU and how long has it been used?
Research on HIFU began in the 1950s at Indiana University (IU) in Indianapolis, IN. In 1994, Dr. Michael Marberger and Dr. Stephan Madersbacher performed the first human prostate cancer study at the University of Vienna in Austria using the Sonablate® 200. They treated 29 human prostates in the body before performing a radical prostatectomy in order to see if the energy delivered was enough to destroy the targeted tissue. The study indicated that treatment could be performed safely and be repeated if necessary.
