Non‐invasive high‐intensity focused ultrasound treatment of the placenta: a preliminary <i>in‐vivo</i> study using a simian model

Abstract

This study demonstrates the feasibility of HIFU applied non-invasively to the placental unit in an in-vivo pregnant monkey model. The technique is safe in the immediate short term and is potentially translatable to human pregnancy. Copyright © 2016 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
