Open AccessCharacterization of different bubble formulations for blood-brain barrier opening using a focused ultrasound system with acoustic feedback control
Focused ultrasound combined with bubble-based agents serves as a non-invasive way to open the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Passive acoustic detection was well studied recently to monitor the acoustic emissions i...
