What procedures can be performed utilizing ultrasound? What type of tools are required to do these minimally-invasive procedures? How does the procedure unfold and what is the evidence behind the safety and efficacy of these? Dr. Jon Finnoff discusses what’s currently in the translational phase of research, the process of candidate selection, and the how these procedures compare to their traditional counterparts.
