Background: High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can destroy tissue by thermal ablation which may be accompanied by acoustic cavitation and/or tissue water boiling, but the biological and histological effects of these treatments have not been fully documented. Here, detailed histological analysis over time using well characterized HIFU exposures in in vivo rat livers is described.
