High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) consists of an ultrasonic beam that is focused within the body to induce tissue necrosis through both heat energy and as a result of cavitation, which occurs without damaging any intervening tissues. Therefore, it is possible to cauterize and treat tumors without surgical invasion by administering HIFU irradiation from outside the body. This approach has been clinically applied in various fields in recent years, and fetal therapy is no exception, with several clinical applications reported, mainly in basic experiments. This review summarizes the recent basic and clinical findings focusing on fetal treatment with HIFU.
