HIFU is really a very specific kind of focused ultrasound treatment. We should start with a generic article about focused ultrasound and can link in and combine with Focused_ultrasound_for_intracranial_drug_delivery article.
I agree that this article and the Focused ultrasound for intracranial drug delivery article have quite a bit of overlap and could (and should) be separated more. Just looking at the image of the other article shows a generic image of ultrasound therapy, and nothing unique to intracranial drug delivery.
When you refer to focused ultrasound, are you referring to "FUS", which includes multiple types of ultrasound therapies, not just "HIFU"? I am not at all an expert in any of this, I only know what I've read in the small number of academic papers and online articles on the topic. Agreen991 (talk) 20:30, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
