High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been used to ablate solid tumors and cancers. Because of the hypervascular structure of the tumor and circulating blood inside it, the interaction between the HIFU burst and vessel is a critical issue in the clinical environment. Influences on lesion prod...
