## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate a potential technique for imageβguided minimally invasive neurosurgical interventions. Focused ultrasound (FUS) delivers thermal energy without an invasive probe, penetrating the dura mater, entering through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space, o

## Abstract MRIβguided focused ultrasound was tested in the brains of rhesus monkeys. Locations up to 4.8 cm deep were targeted. Focal heating was observed in all cases with MRIβderived temperature imaging. Subthreshold heating was observed at the focus when the ultrasound beam was targeted with lo
The purpose of this work was to test the hypothesis that reproducible and sustainable arterial occlusion can be induced by focused ultrasound energy deposition noninvasively within deep tissue. An MRI-compatible focused ultrasound transducer was used to sonicate a branch of the renal artery (diamete
Gene therapy is a promising approach to the treatment of many forms of disease, including cancer. Of critical concern in its implementation is the ability to control the location, duration, and level of expression of the therapeutic gene. Here, we propose the use of local heat in combination with a
