Focal One® is a device using the technology of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), which is intended for local treatment of Prostate Cancer. It combines all the necessary tools to visualize, target, treat and validate the treatment. The process can be divided in 4 logical steps: treatment preparation with the Import of MR images and fusion with the real-time Ultrasound Volume, focal target definition, precise destructive energy application and validation of effectively de-vascularized area (with Contrast Imaging Option).
The main components of the Focal One® module are:
- Control Station
- Treatment and Ultrasound Imaging Probe
- Internal Ultrasound module
- 2 Touch-screen monitors
- Keyboard and Mouse
- Lateral table extension
