I thought ultrasonic ablation was already a thing. Here's a paper from 2010: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21358073/

It was in research, but now the FDA has approved it as a therapy. So I guess it takes 13 years to go from paper to clinic?

13 years is about right. a little on the long side for devices, but cancer trials are slow.
