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
## 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
