The first in-human trial to use a novel ultrasound device to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier to deliver chemotherapy reveals that the procedure led to an increase in drug concentrations in ...

Alternatively, data from all transducers can be used while limiting the focal depth, allowing more transmit-receive pulses to ...

A new trick uses precise ultrasound imaging — the same kind that lets parents-to-be see their kid before it’s born — to read and even predict activity within the brain. All in all, that predictive ...

As these systems evolve, I believe therapeutic ultrasound is poised to become medicine's next general-purpose platform.

There are times when hibernating would be useful, like surgery or space travel, and we’re getting closer to being able to do so on demand in humans. Scientists have now demonstrated a way to induce a ...

A new study has found that using ultrasound to target specific areas of the brain causes functional changes that last for up to an hour. The findings pave the way for the development of non-invasive ...

Researchers have advanced the age-old effort to overcome the blood-brain barrier with clinical trial data suggesting ultrasound can temporarily enable molecules past the blockade. The clinical trial ...

The question of whether invasive or noninvasive methods provide the best possible outcomes for patients with ...
