A new in silico model to precisely design focused ultrasound brain therapies

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with microbubbles enables transient and noninvasive blood–brain barrier (BBB) opening, facilitating targeted drug delivery. However, accurate treatment planning remains difficult due to inter‐patient anatomical variability and the common assumption in simulations that brain tissues behave like water.

HIFU for Palliative Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

, 2016
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies, with only a 6 % 5-year survival rate and over 50 % of patients being diagnosed at the advanced stage. Current therapies are ineffective, and the treatment of patients with advanced disease is palliative.

A computational tool for evaluating HIFU safety.

Annali dell'Istituto superiore di sanita, 2017
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive treatment for therapeutic applications, in particular the treatment of either benign or malignant tumor lesions. HIFU treatment is based on the power of a focused ultrasound beam to locally heat biological tissues over a necrotic level with minimal impact on the surrounding tissues.

Function of Epirubicin-Conjugated Polymeric Micelles in Sonodynamic Therapy

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
The combinatory use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and epirubicin (EPI)-conjugated polymeric micellar nanoparticles (NC-6300) is thought to be a less invasive and more efficient method of cancer therapy.
