High Resolution 3D Ultrasonic Breast Imaging by Time-Domain Full Waveform Inversion [PDF]
Ultrasound tomography (UST) scanners allow quantitative images of the human breast's acoustic properties to be derived with potential applications in screening, diagnosis and therapy planning. Time domain full waveform inversion (TD-FWI) is a promising UST image formation technique that fits the parameter fields of a wave physics model by gradient ...

An Experimental Study on the Heat Enhancement and the Bio-Heat Transfer Using Gold Macro Road and Ultrasound: A Potential Alternative to Kill Cancer Cells [PDF]
We have previously proposed a method of treating solid tumors with a combination of gold macro-rods irradiated with ultrasound. Macro particle sized rods offer a greater circumferential treatment area over nanoparticle options.

Systematic design and experimental demonstration of transmission-type multiplexed acoustic meta-holograms [PDF]
Acoustic holograms have promising applications in sound-field reconstruction, particle manipulation, ultrasonic haptics and therapy. This paper reports on the theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigation of multiplexed acoustic holograms at both audio and ultrasonic frequencies via a rationally designed transmission-type acoustic metamaterial.

Durable effects of deep brain ultrasonic neuromodulation on major depression: a case report
Background Severe forms of depression have been linked to hyperactivity of the subcallosal cingulate cortex. The ability to stimulate the subcallosal cingulate cortex or associated circuits noninvasively and directly would maximize the number of patients

Ultrasonic therapies for seizures and drug-resistant epilepsy
Ultrasonic therapy is an increasingly promising approach for the treatment of seizures and drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Therapeutic focused ultrasound (FUS) uses thermal or nonthermal energy to either ablate neural tissue or modulate neural activity through high- or low-intensity FUS (HIFU, LIFU), respectively. Both HIFU and LIFU approaches have been
