Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Technique in Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment
Glioblastoma is one of the central nervous system most aggressive and lethal cancers with poor overall survival rate. Systemic treatment of glioblastoma remains the most challenging aspect due to the low permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and ...

A Wearable, Steerable, Transcranial Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound System. [PDF]
AbstractObjectivesTranscranial Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) offers unique opportunities for precisely neuromodulating small and/or deep targets within the human brain, which may be useful for treating psychiatric and neurological disorders. This paper presents a novel ultrasound system that delivers focused ultrasound through the forehead to
