Rich I saw an interesting poster (out of Germany if I remember) at a meeting within the past 2 years, where they gave "air" with increased oxygen content to patients to breathe prior to breast radiation therapy. It allowed the patients to "breath-hold" longer so as not to move (lungs.chestwall,etc) during treatment.

If available couldn't see why it wouldn't work w HIFU as well
