Tubal Occlusion via Ultrasound

Description: Tubal occlusion via ultrasound is a technique developed at the 2015 MIT Hacking Medicine event. A dual-mode probe will support visualization and treatment via ultrasound. Treatment will consist of administering high-intensity ultrasound to the uterotubal junction (cornua) to induce a sclerosing effect that will lead to tubal closure.
