Tissue destruction by thermal ablation occurs when the targeted delivery of heat or cold causes a rapid change in temperature (>55°C for heat or <−20–50°C for cold) in the local tissue environment. Imaging can be used to localize and target the thermal effects to the target/tumor for treatment, control the energy deposition, and assess treatment response. Therapeutic applications of ultrasound ...

However, there are growing demands an epilepsy control system minimal invasiveness. Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) a promising non-invasive neuromodulation technique controlling epileptic seizures due to its superior spatial specificity and depth penetrability. H...
