The most widely known application of ultrasound is for diagnosis, such as in prenatal care, but that is far from the only possible use for this versatile technology.
A new #ScienceReview takes a look at recent advances in the clinical applications of focused ultrasound for purposes such as as drug delivery, immune activation, neuromodulation, and more. https://t.co/2ocGhLXf1f
An editorial describes the science behind a trial involving a breach of the blood−brain barrier to deliver drugs to the brain. Read “Sounding Out the Blood–Brain Barrier” by Kullervo Hynynen, Ph.D., from @Sunnybrook and @UofT: https://t.co/5fiBVfmlew
Exciting new results on patient-reported outcomes following #FUS#thalamotomy for medically-refractory #tremor.
Most patients achieved their treatment goals and expressed high levels of #satisfaction. FUS is a #game_changer!

Seeing lots of journals celebrating their impact factors. A quick reminder that some of the most “high impact” papers were published in “low impact” journals. Need to find better ways to define impact in science and medicine that levels the playing field. @webofscience
