Why the study?
Can high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) create precise defects in ex vivo mammalian cardiac tissues?
Can high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) create precise defects in ex vivo mammalian cardiac tissues?
HIFU can create precise, localized defects in ex vivo cardiac tissues without damaging surrounding areas, suggesting potential for noninvasive treatment of congenital cardiac obstructions.
