The Focused Ultrasound Surgery Foundation was created to improve the lives of millions of people with life-threatening diseases by accelerating the development and adoption of Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound (Focused Ultrasound) -- a game changing therapeutic technology that could be the most important advance since the invention of the scalpel.

Focused Ultrasound is a breakthrough technology resulting from the innovative marriage of high intensity focused ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging:
• High Intensity Focused Ultrasound -- Multiple intersecting beams of ultrasound energy are concentrated with extreme precision and accuracy on a point smaller than a grain of rice deep in the body, much like a magnifying glass is used to focus beams of sunlight on a single point to burn a hole in a leaf
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging -- For identifying and targeting the tissue to be treated, guiding the treatment interactively in real time, and providing immediate confirmation ...
