Ferenc Andras Jolesz (May 21, 1946 – December 31, 2014) was a Hungarian-American physician and scientist best known for his research on image guided therapy, the process by which information derived from diagnostic imaging is used to improve the localization and targeting of diseased tissue to monitor and control treatment during surgical and interventional procedures.
Ultrasound is applied using a transducer or applicator that is in direct contact with the patient's skin. Gel is used on all surfaces of the head to reduce friction and assist transmission of the ultrasonic waves. Therapeutic ultrasound in physical therapy is alternating compression and rarefaction of sound waves with a frequency of 0.7 to 3.3 ...
She received her Doctorate of Philosophy in 1999 from the University of Houston for her research in elastography at the University of Texas Medical School. She completed postdoctoral research in elasticity-based monitoring of focused ultrasound therapy at Brigham and Women's Hospital. [1] She received a Fulbright U.S. Inter-country Award in ...
Her research concerns surgical applications of focused ultrasound. Xu studied biomedical engineering as an undergraduate at Southeast University in Nanjing , graduating in 2001. She went to the University of Michigan for graduate study, receiving a master's degree in 2003 and completing her Ph.D. in 2005. [ 1 ]
Her research crosses several themes, including immunotherapy, [8] molecular imaging, [9] ultrasound thermometry and image guided therapies. In particular, Ferrara has focussed on ultrasound therapy guided with magnetic resonance imaging, nanoparticle based cardiovascular imaging and image-guided drug delivery. A challenge in cancer therapeutics ...
The Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUSF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States, that promotes the use of image-guided focused ultrasound. The foundation is primarily funded through philanthropic donations.
In 2012 a collaborative project entitled “Bio-inspired Nano-carriers for Sub-Cellular Targeted Therapeutics” of eleven research groups from Ben-Gurion University, Weizmann Institute of Science and The Hebrew University, led by Prof. Kost was approved in the framework of the National 5-year Nano-Science and Technology Program.
Ultrasound is defined by the American National Standards Institute as "sound at frequencies greater than 20 kHz". In air at atmospheric pressure, ultrasonic waves have wavelengths of 1.9 cm or less. Ultrasound can be generated at very high frequencies; ultrasound is used for sonochemistry at frequencies up to multiple hundreds of kilohertz.
