State Key Laboratory of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering was originally developed from a research group of ultrasound biological effect, which has a history of 35 years. The team has initially established the basic theoretical system of focused ultrasound therapy, broken through a series of key technologies of focused ultrasound therapy, and developed the world's first major ultrasound therapy medical device made in China.

At present, as a respond to calls from the medical field, the State Key Laboratory of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering (SKLUME), as well as the National Engineering Research Center of Ultrasound Medicine of China (NERCUM) have established the theoretical system of biological effects of focused ultrasound in collaboration with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Centers, successfully built the "foundation" of the field of focused ultrasound, on which both majors of medicine and engineering have been integrated and developed. Through strategies such as specialist training, specific-field-oriented talent training, alliance of HIFU Centers, university-institute cooperation, the whole industry chain has been held together, including basic research in original invention, basic research for application, application and transformation research, as well as major application research. Therefore, a model of linked innovation chain and industry chain, and synergistic development of industry-university-research-application, is born. In the future, in-depth cooperation will be carried out with HIFU Centers home and abroad in scientific and technological innovation, talent training and public service, so as to provide more patients with high-quality medical services that suffer less harm.

On February 25, “2022 Annual Recognition Ceremony for Outstanding Institutions/Individuals in Clinical Application and Research of Ultrasound Therapy” hosted by State Key Laboratory of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering was successfully concluded.

To reward HIFU Centers that are excellent in conducting major projects opened by SKLUME, as well as publishing research articles, the Award of Excellent R&D Institutions of Ultrasound Therapy goes to:

To honor HIFU Centers that has made special contributions in indication exploring and project cooperation, the Contribution Award of Institutions in Clinical Trial of Ultrasound Therapy goes to:

To honor the top 10 clinical centers with highest number of treatment cases in 2022, the Award of Best Institutions of Clinical Application in Ultrasound Therapy goes to:

In addition, the First People’s Hospital of Foshan won the Improvement Award of Clinical Application in Ultrasound Therapy in light of the significant rising from 120 HIFU cases in 2021 to 420 HIFU cases in 2022.
