Cleveland Team Develops Flexible Patches for Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation
- Details
An engineering team from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland recently designed and validated a new type of flexible ultrasound transducer. Their small- and large-sized body-conforming ultrasound patches contain both imaging and modulation elements. The patches are designed for use in preclinical models with image-guided neural therapies at a focal depth of 10 to 20 mm. Possible applications include neuromodulation of the vagus, tibial, or other nerves. See IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control >

Physician Profile: Stephen Scionti, MD
- Details
Dr. Stephen Scionti is a board-certified urologist who specializes in prostate cancer treatment. He founded and opened Scionti Prostate Center in 2014, just before the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved two high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) devices: SonaCare Medical’s Sonablate and EDAP’s Ablatherm. Beyond HIFU, Dr. Scionti offers a full range of diagnostic services, including MRI fusion targeted prostate biopsy and, most recently, treatment with Profound Medical's transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA-PRO) device, which was approved in the US in 2019.
