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 …

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 …

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 …

The development of large-aperture multiple-source transducer arrays for ultrasound
transmission through the human skull has demonstrated the possibility of controlled and …

Noninvasive treatment of brain disorders using focused ultrasound (US) requires a reliable
model for predicting the distortion of the field due to the skull using physical parameters …

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 …

A numerical model was developed which can use digitized layer interfaces to calculate
ultrasound wave absorption, diffraction, reflection, and refraction. This model was used to …

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 …
