Iron Based Coupling Media (IBCM) for MRI-guided Transcranial Ultrasound Surgeries
Project Summary/Abstract Fatal or impairing neurological diseases, including movement disorders, brain cancers, psychological disorders, epilepsies, malformations, and memory disorders, impose heavy burdens on both individuals and society at large. Transcranial magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery (tMRgFUS) is an extremely promising, minimally invasive treatment modality for neurological diseases whereby sound waves are focused to a specific region of the brain. Because it is noninvasive, the efficacy of tMRgFUS procedure heavily relies on the accuracy and information content of the guidance technology. This study proposes to improve the treatment efficacy of nearly all…
