Interstitial HIFU utilizes probes that can have multiple transducers in a linear array, allowing for conformal ablation. A: Four probes lined up each with an increasing number of transducers. B: Simulated ablative pattern for 360° transducer scale showing degrees in Celsius. C: TheraVision software is an image-guided ultrasound ablation system that activates the applicator and can monitor the thermal energy emitted by each transducer. D: MRIT allows for real-time monitoring of thermal distribution, reducing damage to adjacent structures. Scale shows degrees in Celsius.
