Principles of focused ultrasound [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Focused ultrasound (FUS/HIFU) relies on ablation of pathological tissues, by delivering sufficiently high level of acoustic energy in situ of the human body. Magnetic Resonance guided FUS (MRgFUS/HIFU) and Ultrasound guided (USgFUS/HIFU) are image guided

Blood-Brain Barrier Opening with MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Elicits Meningeal Venous Permeability in Humans with Early Alzheimer Disease.

open access: yesRadiology, 2021
Background Opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) induced with MRI-guided focused ultrasound has been shown in experimental animal models to reduce amyloid-β plaque burden, improve memory performance, and facilitate delivery of therapeutic agents to ...
