Notes | The MRI-compatible image-guided focused ultrasound system consists of a computer-controlled high-precision three-axis positioning system and a high-power focused ultrasound transducer coupled. Features: -The positioning system enables delivery of focused ultrasound energy to precise locations in soft tissue -The system is designed specifically for research in small to large animal models to investigate ultrasound-tissue interactions, and to evaluate the safety of therapeutic approaches prior to translation into humans -The entire FUS system fits within the bore of a clinical MR or CT scanner for image-guided treatment planning and delivery -The system is completely non-magnetic, enabling it to function within a high-field magnetic resonance imager for image-guided treatment planning and monitoring of ultrasound exposures -The system is compatible with X-ray CT imaging as well |
