focused ultrasound(FUS)can be used to treat brain diseases via thermal ablation of intracranial tissues under specific parameters transcranially.Combined with microbubbles
it can also be used to enhance the efficiency of drug delivery by opening the blood-brain barrier reversibly.Nowadays
Progress has been made in treatment of brain diseases such as essential tremor
Parkinson’s disease
psychosis
brain tumor and neuropathic pain with FUS.This article reviews the research progress of FUS thermal ablation and FUS-induced opening of the blood-brain barrier in the treatment of cerebral diseases.
