Team HIFUSK (Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Italy)

HIFUSK can address unmet clinical needs in the treatment of pathological tissues, like cancerous tissues. HIFUSK is the marriage of 2 technologies: robotics and focused ultrasound. Such a combination results in a surgical treatment which is precise thanks to robotics and non-invasive (no incisions, no anesthesia, no ionizing energy) thanks to focused ultrasound. Robotic control and machine learning algorithms ensure safety even in case of target motions during the therapy. We validated our platform in a dry lab/ex-vivo scenario and we received the approval for in-vivo tests of HIFU robotic treatments.
