Purpose: High‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is becoming an effective and noninvasive treatment modality for cancer and solid tumors. In order to avoid the cancer relapse and guarantee the success of ablation, there should be no gaps left among all HIFU‐generated lesions. However, there are few...
