Oxford HIFU Unit

The Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust was the first in the Western world to open a purpose-built High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) unit, and have since been carrying out clinical trials on patients with cancer of the liver or kidney.

Oxford HIFU Unit - opened by Katrina LeederOn Wednesday, July 3, 2002 Professor Sir Peter Morris, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, formally opened the unit. Kidney cancer patient Katrina Leeder, who appeared in the fly-on-the-wall British television series 'Airline', and was treated at the Churchill Hospital, was a guest at the launch.

The new unit and high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment machine has been funded by Ultrasound Therapeutics Limited of Stockport. The company is also sponsoring the patient trials through a grant to the Trust's Urology Department.
