Objective Advances in ultrasound transducer array and amplifier technologies have
prompted many intriguing scientific proposals for ultrasound therapy. These include both …

Recent papers have shown that focused ultrasound therapy may be feasible in the brain
through an intact human skull by using phased arrays to correct the phase distortion induced …

Ultrasound phased arrays may offer a method for non-invasive deep brain surgery through
the skull. In this study a hemispherical phased array system is developed to test the …

Non-invasive treatment of brain disorders using ultrasound would require a transducer array
that can propagate ultrasound through the skull and still produce sufficient acoustic pressure …

The aim of this study was to test a prototype MRI‐compatible focused ultrasound phased
array system for trans‐skull brain tissue ablation. Rabbit thigh muscle and brain were …

A technique for focusing ultrasound through the human skull is described and verified. The
approach is based on a layered wavevector-frequency domain model, which propagates …

Utilization of therapeutic ultrasound in the brain has been seriously limited by the commonly
accepted view that these exposures would require that a piece of the skull bone be removed …

The use of a phased array of ultrasound transducer elements to sonicate through the skull
has opened the way for new treatments and the delivery of therapeutics beyond the blood …

Therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound procedures performed noninvasively through the
skull require a reliable method for maintaining acoustic focus integrity after transmission …

MRI‐guided focused ultrasound was tested in the brains of rhesus monkeys. Locations up to
4.8 cm deep were targeted. Focal heating was observed in all cases with MRI‐derived …
