MRI’s magnetic field affects focused ultrasound technology

by Beth Miller,  Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis In a mouse model study of MRI-guided focused ultrasound-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening at MRI field strengths ranging from ­approximately 0 T (outside the magnetic field) to 4.7 T, the static magnetic field dampened the detected microbubble cavitation signal and decreased the BBB opening volume....

Ultrasound Technology Developed at U-M now in Clinical Trials for Liver Cancer

The University of Michigan is one of eight sites around the country that will enroll patients in a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a technology that uses ultrasound to treat liver tumors. The #HOPE4LIVER trial will employ the noninvasive technique to mechanically destroy primary and metastatic liver tumors. Illustration of histotripsy technology. Image...
