Histotripsy is an extracorporeal focused ultrasound (US) technology that uses controlled cavitation to induce nonthermal mechanical tissue fractionation. Feasibility of histotripsy ablation of normal renal tissue in an in vivo rabbit model has previously been demonstrated. Our specific objective in this study was to characterize the histologic effects of histotripsy on VX-2 tumor implanted in the kidneys of an in vivo rabbit model.
