Focused ultrasound (FUS) initiative
Focused ultrasound is an innovative technique that enables precise, controllable and safe delivery of ultrasound energy to specific targets in the body. The FUS initiative supports ongoing research and shares expertise with the community worldwide, while helping to accelerate the development of FUS technology. In this way, we contribute to a future where minimally invasive therapy can be part of everyday life.
Applications
Ultrasound delivery can have distinct effects, depending on the way in which it is applied. For an up-to-date list of applications and the status of their implementation we refer to the FUS foundation website:
