Drug delivery for tumor theranostics involves the extensive use of the enhanced permeability
and retention (EPR) effect. Previously, various types of nanomedicines have been …

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is gaining rapid clinical acceptance as a treatment
modality enabling non-invasive tissue heating and ablation for numerous applications. HIFU …

Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) is a new approach to imaging and characterizing
tissue structures based on the use of shear acoustic waves remotely induced by the …

Improved methods of noninvasively modulating human brain function are needed. Here we
probed the influence of transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) targeted to the human …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase-contrast-based MRI imaging technique
that can directly visualize and quantitatively measure propagating acoustic strain waves in …

Electromagnetic-based methods of stimulating brain activity require invasive procedures or
have other limitations. Deep-brain stimulation requires surgically implanted electrodes …

Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) is a promising neuromodulation technique, but its
mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesize that if tFUS parameters exhibit distinct …
