High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has become popular in the noninvasive ablation of a variety of solid tumors and cancers with promising clinical outcomes. Its ablation efficiency should be improved for the reduced treatment duration, especially for a large target. The frequency chirps were p...
