Noninvasive neuromodulation and thalamic mapping with low-intensity focused ultrasound [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurosurgery, 2018
OBJECTIVEUltrasound can be precisely focused through the intact human skull to target deep regions of the brain for stereotactic ablations. Acoustic energy at much lower intensities is capable of both exciting and inhibiting neural tissues without causing tissue heating or damage.

Rapid Spatial Mapping of Focused Ultrasound Fields Using a Planar Fabry-Pérot Sensor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Measurement of high acoustic pressures is necessary in order to fully characterise clinical high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) fields, and for accurate validation of computational models of ultrasound propagation. However, many existing measurement

Low‐Intensity Focused Ultrasound‐Responsive Ferrite‐Encapsulated Nanoparticles for Atherosclerotic Plaque Neovascularization Theranostics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
Pathological angiogenesis is a crucial factor that causes atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Sinoporphyrin sodium‐mediated sonodynamic therapy (DVDMS‐SDT) induces regression of plaque neovascularization in humans without causing obvious side effects ...
