One of MANY cool things about this....

Technician uses ultrasound waves to watch the other ultrasound waves destroy whatever their tuned to, in real time.

Fascinating.

I'd heard of ultrasound used to break up kidney stones, but not this...sounds amazing. Maybe could be used instead of prostate surgery?

This technology can be used for almost anything.
Set the proper frequency, then fire away.

I've got a PhD friend who works on this stuff as her career at UVa. Her field is vet applications, but they're doing some cool stuff with both humans and animals.

Yup.
This is only the tip.
Very interesting star trek tech is about to drop.
Not just medical, but power, propulsion, etc...

The infamous Jeremy Clarkson had this treatment to remove 10% of his prostate. He spoke about it on Clarksons Farm.
