A promising ultrasound therapy to potentially restore brain function in people with Alzheimer's disease has been licenced to ...

Professor Gail ter Haar is investigating the use of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to rapidly heat and kill tumours of the liver or kidney. Gail is founding President of the International ...

A new kind of cancer gene therapy can be remotely activated at a specific part of the body. The team developed a version of CRISPR that responds to ultrasound, and demonstrated how it can be used ...

While ultrasound has been widely used for medical imaging, it also has a variety of therapeutic applications. The technology could potentially facilitate the release of medication in precise locations ...

Therapeutic or focused ultrasound began being applied to neurologic conditions less than a decade ago, but its potential in a wide spectrum of brain applications is high. In today’s podcast ...

In medical treatment, getting a drug to the proper location in the body can be as important as administering the right drug.

The experiment was conducted by Tohoku University's Yoshizawa Shin, who has been studying medical applications of ultrasound. This indicates that therapeutic ultrasound can heat specific inner ...

Penn State biomedical engineering researchers developed an ultrasound imaging technique to visualize the movement of a type ...

Ultrasound therapy (US therapy) has long been used as one of the combination treatments for CTS. In addition, paraffin bath therapy has been applied widely as a physical modality in treating ...

New data demonstrates SonoThera’s novel, ultrasound-mediated gene delivery (UMGD) platform’s ability to noninvasively provide safe, effective gene therapy delivery to liver. Presentation focus ...

The purpose of this exploratory study is to compare the combination of a wrist orthosis with either US therapy or paraffin bath therapy in the treatment of CTS patients. We hypothesized that US ...
