Diagram showing the setup used for HIFU treatment of TRAMP tumors. The cone of the focused ultrasound applicator was filled with degassed water to adjust the depth such that the focal zone fell within the tumor. The ultrasound power and duration (Table 1) were adjusted to produce regions of ablation and partial treatment in all five TRAMP mice treated. The rubber absorber was positioned to absorb and dissipate the leftover ultrasound energy, and prevent reflections. Acoustic gel was applied at the interface between the mouse and the cone, and between the mouse and the rubber absorber.
