Focused Ultrasound, an Emerging Tool for Atherosclerosis Treatment: A Comprehensive Review
Life, 2023 Focused ultrasound (FUS) has emerged as a promising noninvasive therapeutic modality for treating atherosclerotic arterial disease. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a noninvasive and precise modality that generates high temperatures at specific ...

The Potential of Pulsed Low Intensity Ultrasound to stimulate Chondrocytes in a 3D Model System [PDF]
, 2009 PhDPulsed low intensity ultrasound (PLIUS) is used clinically to accelerate fracture healing. although the mode of action is unclear. However studies suggest that PLIUS may stimulate endochondral ossification and consequently PLIUS may also be ...

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.

A review of low-intensity focused ultrasound for neuromodulation [PDF]
Biomedical Engineering Letters, 2017 The ability of ultrasound to be focused into a small region of interest through the intact skull within the brain has led researchers to investigate its potential therapeutic uses for functional neurosurgery and tumor ablation. Studies have used high-intensity focused ultrasound to ablate tissue in localised brain regions for movement disorders and ...

Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Modulates Monkey Visuomotor Behavior [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 In vivo feasibility of using low-intensity focused ultrasound (FUS) to transiently modulate the function of regional brain tissue has been recently tested in anesthetized lagomorphs [1] and rodents [2-4]. Hypothetically, ultrasonic stimulation of the brain possesses several advantages [5]: it does not necessitate surgery or genetic alteration but could

Measurement of low-intensity highly focused ultrasound [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986 The requirements for precise determination of acoustic output for different types of medical diagnostic equipment have made it important to develop methods of measuring ultrasonic field parameters at high megahertz range of frequencies. More specifically, of particular interest here is the measurement of pulsed beams of small focal diameters (of the ...

Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Epilepsy— A New Approach to Neuromodulation
Epilepsy Currents, 2022 Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) who are not surgical candidates have unacceptably few treatment options. Benefits of implanted electrostimulatory devices are still largely palliative, and many patients are not eligible to receive them. A new form of neuromodulation, low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS), is rapidly emerging, and has many
