The Haifu System
Patents
Chinese and
international patents covering the Haifu system
3-D conformal technique
Ensures complete targeting and ablation of solid tumour deposits. Allows ablation of large tumours in a single treatment session. Enables ablation of malignant tumours with a surrounding margin of normal tissue, thus ensuring adequate clearance.
Real-time diagnostic ultrasound
Provides high-quality images for the location and targeting of the selected tumour. Allows visualisation of the treatment as it happens, providing an assessment of therapeutic efficacy. Real-time feedback ensures that the physician is able to tailor treatment to the specific case.
Intelligent therapeutic software
Novel software allows integration of diagnostic images and treatment parameters. User-friendly program provides a treatment plan, which can be delivered from a single console. Provides the user with a clear representation of the acoustic focus during treatment.
Multi-dimensional motion of the therapy transducer
Enables a great variety of anatomical sites to be treated. Electronic control allows millimetric accuracy in positioning.
High-intensity transducer
Well-defined and reproducible focus using an acoustic lens. Precise volume of coagulation necrosis associated with the acoustic focus. Excellent tissue penetration allows sparing of the pre-focal regions. Choice of lens provides flexibility in the depth of tumours treated. May be driven at different frequencies depending on the tumour type and depth.
Degassed water system
Provides an acoustic coupling medium. Precisely controls the water temperature. Filters and degasses the water to a pre-defined level. Allows the physician direct control during the treatment session.
Adjustable ultrasound therapeutic frequency
Ensures the treatment's effectiveness for various tumors. Increases the number of tumour types suitable for treatment. Shortens the treatment time.
