CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- USHIFU, a worldwide leader in the development, distribution and use of minimally invasive high intensity focused ultrasound technologies, announced today the establishment of India HIFU and the launch of Sonablate(R) HIFU services in Hyderabad, India at Dr. Ramayya's Pramila Hospital for the treatment of prostate disease.

Dr. Ramesh Ramayya, President of Urology and Nephrology Services at the hospital said, "The introduction of the Sonablate(R)500 and the HIFU technology for the treatment of prostate cancer marks a major milestone in the practice of urology in the Indian sub-continent."

The Sonablate(R) HIFU will be launched in India officially at an inauguration event held on December 3, 2008 at the Taj Krishna by the Chief Minister Dr. Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy. Additionally, Dr. Madhav Kamat of Jaslok Hospital in Mumbai and Dr. A. Ranganadha Rao, past president of the Urological Society of India will be guests of honor at the inauguration. Dr D. Ramanaidu, film producer, will launch the Prostate Cancer Awareness Program on the same day. The following day, the first HIFU treatments in India will be performed by Dr. Ramayya. USHIFU medical director, Dr. George Suarez will observe the procedure remotely through a virtual private network (VPN) and be able to provide commentary.

HIFU technology is minimally invasive, far safer than and as effective as existing alternatives. I am sure Sonablate(R) HIFU and India HIFU Centers will be a resounding success in India," continued Dr. Ramayya.
