摘要: This disclosure describes systems and methods for ultrasound imaging and targeting. In one example, the systems and methods improve targeting and imaging through a heterogenous medium by using the angular spectrum approach (ASA) alone or in combination with passive acoustic mapping (PAM). In another example, the systems and methods improve the ultrasound imaging of vessels using microbubbles. The imaging of the vessels is also aided by the ASA and PAM. A closed loop controller is described that adjusts the ultrasound pressure provided to a region of interest to a desired pressure based at least in part on the harmonic, ultra-harmonic, sub-harmonic, or broadband frequency ranges for the microbubbles.

摘要: Multifunctional ultrasound systems and methods for body section registration and mapping of microbubble dynamics. A system is provided that includes one or more micromachined ultrasonic transducer arrays (MUTAs) configured to capture a high-resolution image of at least a portion of a body section using ultrasound and monitor microbubble activity during ultrasound treatment. The system includes an image registration module configured to spatially register the high-resolution image with a reference image. The system includes electronics configured to control one or more of drive signal amplitude, frequency filtering, multiplexing, and DC bias voltage. The system can be configured to control ultrasound treatment based on the monitoring of the microbubble activity during treatment.

摘要: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for determining the effectiveness of a pharmaceutical drug in effecting a change in a biological specimen of a patient. The method comprises injecting a fluid into the patient, the fluid comprising a plurality of microbubbles; directing an ultrasound signal to the biological specimen of the patient; and detecting a level of cfDNA molecules in the patient.

摘要: This disclosure describes systems and methods for producing and registration of an acoustic holographic lens for trans-skull focused ultrasound (FUS). In one example embodiment, the lens is produced using a heterogenous angular spectrum approach that performs computations in the frequency domain, enabling pressure fields created with selected frequencies. In another example embodiment, precise registration of the lens with skull geometry is achieved via use of a nonlinear parametric array effect.
