Histotripsy: What is it and how does it work?
On this episode of Engineering Explains…
What is histotripsy? Where is histotripsy available? What are the side effects? Is it only for the liver? Can it be used in other applications?
Eli Vlaisavljevich provides his expertise on the fascinating field of non-invasive cancer therapy! While bubbles, clouds, and funny looking speakers may sound imaginary, histotripsy is the real deal. By using targeted ultrasound frequencies, it provides a friendlier alternative to the traditional radiation or surgical counterparts, creating a safe, highly precise tool for treating more than just cancer.
