Ultrasound can help clinicians diagnose and monitor disease. Now, patients with conditions ranging from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s may soon benefit from recent advances in this technology. A biomedical engineer has details: buff.ly/5bCd3vN

Focused sound energy holds promise for treating cancer, Alzheimer’s and other diseases

Ultrasound is perhaps best known as an imaging technique to monitor pregnancy or disease. When these sound waves are highly concentrated, however, they can be used to treat a host of diseases.

Focused sound energy stops a rare vascular neoplasm in its tracks

Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a rare neoplastic disease, caused by rapid endothelial cell proliferation in brain vessels. CCMs can generate debilitating neurological symptoms for patients....
