Introduction: Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) is a heat technology that is developed from focused ultrasound (FU) used in a high intense mode to generate heat (HIFU). Patient assessment is very complex and involves more than just addressing complaints. It is a challenge to evaluate, decide on options, and give treatments that guarantee the best outcomes. In order to facilitate the process, the authors divided the protocol into five steps: Assess (expectations, features); Decide (which depth to customize); Select (choose a number of lines to achieve the objective); Plan (combination, if needed); Treat (documentation, safety, and comfort).
