In this latest study seven patients in Russia and Singapore with localized low-risk prostate cancer have undergone treatment. The ExAblate system, which has been in ...

To overcome the above limitations, my laboratory has engineered a novel technology which implements transcranial pulsed ultrasound to remotely and directly stimulate brain circuits without requiring surgery. Further, we have shown this ultrasonic neuromodulation approach confers a spatial resolution approximately five times greater than TMS and can exert its effects upon subcortical brain circuits deep within the brain. A portion of our initial work has been supported by the US ...
