Abstract
HIFU can pass through tissues and accurately damage target tissues ins ide organisms. This article reports on the oriented damage effects of HIFU upon miniswine internal and external liver tissues, and suggests a new conception of the 'biological focal field'. The results revealed that: (i) HIFU can be used to damage accurately liver tissues under t he guide of a B-modal ultrasound device; (2) the scope of the injury i s connected with sound intensity and irradiation time; and (3) the dif ferent layers of tissue through which the ultrasound has passed remain undamaged.
