Biaxial driving technique for ultrasound generation with ferroelectric materials
(2021)Over the years, ferroelectric materials have been used in a wide variety of applications in the health care field in applications such as thermal therapy, medical imaging and lithotripsy, just to mention some of them. One ... -
Compact magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound phased array system
(2021)Phased array ultrasound transducers (Txs) can induce electronically controllable localized hyperthermia to tissue deep within the human body. This localized heating can be applied to tumours as an adjunct therapy in ... -
Computer simulation of functional materials for therapeutic ultrasound applications
(2015-01-13)Magnetic resonance imaging guided high intensity focused ultrasound is a potential non-invasive treatment which uses constructive interference patterns to concentrate ultrasound energy generated by a piezoelectric ... -
A device for performing sonoporation on adherent cell cultures
(2015-06-15)Sonoporation is a method for inducing a transient increase in the permeability of cell membranes to otherwise impermeable compounds using ultrasound. This technique has therapeutic potential as it allows for localized ... -
Exploring the feasibility of wireless sensor networks within the MRI environment
(2012-11-10)Wireless communications have long since been utilized to connect a multitude of devices quickly and easily to a common network. However, such methods have not yet been implemented inside a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) ... -
A mechanism for simplified scanner control with application to MRI-guided interventions
(2016)Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI)-guided interventions involving percutaneous biopsies of lesions, or trajectory alignment with prospective stereotaxy are conducted in real time using rapid image acquisition. A mechanism ... -
Prediction of overheating close to bone interfaces generated by high intensity ultrasound transducers
(2014-01-22)One of the driving forces for research in medical sciences is to develop more effective and less intrusive treatments. High Intensity Ultrasound (HIU) is a technique that uses the acoustic field produced by a transducer ...
