A Prototype Stimulator System for Noninvasive Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
A prototype Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) stimulator system was developed to evaluate non-invasive neuromodulation in a large animal model. We conducted a feasibility study on a Göttingen minipig, demonstrating reversible, targeted transcranial neuromodulation. The hypothalamus of the minipig was repeatedly stimulated with LIFU which evoked temporally correlated increases in both heart rate and blood pressure.

I-49: Safely Extending Focused Ultrasound Surgery for Uterine Leiomyomas to Women Who Desire Future Pregnancies
Background: Focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) is a novel noninvasive surgery that results in localized tissue necrosis without any breech of the skin or other body orifice. MRI guidance provides anatomic visualization and real time thermal feedback. Our goal is to safely extend this therapy to women who desire future pregnancies. Materials and Methods: We have undertaken 4 multisite trials of FU...
متن کاملReview Paper: A Review on Brain Stimulation Using Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound
Brain stimulation techniques are important in both basic and clinical studies. Majority of well-known brain stimulating techniques have low spatial resolution or entail invasive processes. Low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) seems to be a proper candidate for dealing with such deficiencies. This review recapitulates studies which explored the effects of LIFU on brain str...
