A novel 100 watt high intensity focused ultrasound driving system.

Ultrasound B-Mode imaging systems are often used to image tissues to which High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is being applied. Since HIFU operates at frequencies in the same range as a B-mode imager, the two technologies interfere when they are simultaneously applied to the patient. This causes the imaging window to 'whiteout' and obscure the target region, thus defeating the purpose of using the ultrasonic imager in the first place.
