Improving Sonication Efficiency in Transcranial MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound Treatment: A Patient-Data Simulation Study

Bioengineering, 2023
The potential improvement in sonication efficiency achieved by tilting the focused ultrasound (FUS) transducer of the transcranial MR-guided FUS system is presented. A total of 56 cases of patient treatment data were used.

Transcranial focused ultrasound phase correction using the hybrid angular spectrum method

Scientific Reports, 2021
The InSightec Exablate system is the standard of care used for transcranial focused ultrasound ablation treatments in the United States. The system calculates phase corrections that account for aberrations caused by the human skull.

Quantitative analysis of in-vivo microbubble distribution in the human brain

Scientific Reports, 2021
Microbubbles (MB) are widely used as contrast agents to perform contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging and as acoustic amplifiers of mechanical bioeffects incited by therapeutic-level ultrasound. The distribution of MBs in the brain is not yet fully

Cytoreductive Surgical Treatment of Pleural Mesothelioma in a Porcine Model Using Magnetic-Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Tomography, 2022
A combination of surgery and chemotherapy is the most effective treatment available for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM). However, both cause significant collateral damage and cannot eliminate residual microscopic disease. This investigation aimed to

Focused Cardiac Ultrasound

Global Heart, 2013
The use of point-of-care ultrasound of the heart is becoming more widespread. A variety of users have joined traditional users of cardiac ultrasound, cardiologists, and are imaging their patients in real time at the point of care. Patients with undifferentiated shock, hypotension, chest pain, or dyspnea are ideal candidates for focused cardiac ...
