HIFU involves the overlapping of several small focal zones to create a complete treatment. (a) An external transducer is coupled to the skin surface to efficiently apply energy with a converging beam form. (b) When the beam converges, the energy density rapidly increases, leading to small focal zones of thermal damage in the target zone. (Reprinted with permission from [39].)
