Recent Advances in the Use of Focused Ultrasound as a Treatment for Epilepsy
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Epilepsy affects about 1% of the population. Approximately one third of patients with epilepsy are drug-resistant (DRE). Resective surgery is an effective treatment for DRE, yet invasive, and not all DRE patients are suitable resective surgery candidates.

Frequency optimization in high intensity focused ultrasound [PDF]
2014 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2014 In high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) the choice of transducer frequency depends on the target depth and tissue type. At high frequencies attenuation does not permit enough acoustical power to be transmitted to the target whereas at low frequencies the transmitted power is not absorbed efficiently.

Clinical applications of high-intensity focused ultrasound [PDF]
Hong Kong Medical Journal, 2016 Ultrasound has been developed for therapeutic use in addition to its diagnostic ability. The use of focused ultrasound energy can offer a non-invasive method for tissue ablation, and can therefore be used to treat various solid tumours. High-intensity focused ultrasound is being increasingly used in the treatment of both primary and metastatic tumours ...
