The process is monitored and controlled by MR imaging and feedback. During treatment, the ultrasound focus is moved electronically over the volume to be ablated – A therapy verification stage in which contrast-enhanced MRI is used to assess the procedure Sonalleve MR-HIFU and some of its applications are not available in all countries.
