Transcranial ultrasound localization microscopy (t-ULM) is faced with challenges posed by the skull, including acoustic attenuation and phase aberrations. There is a significant request for an efficient aberration correction method achieving a great balance between computational complexity and accuracy. In this study, the ray theory is first applied to in-vivo transcranial imaging to calculate the traveltime table in the inhomogeneous medium model of the imaging region.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of alendronate therapy in improving bone density distribution in skull bones and corresponding ultrasound permeability in patients who had previously experienced unsuccessful transcranial MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) ablation. The ability of alendronate treatment to modify skull bone characteristics and enhance the success rate of repeat MRgFUS procedures was assessed.
Methods: Five patients with initially unsuccessful MRgFUS ablations underwent a 6-12 month regimen of alendronate to improve bone density.

Functional connectivity between the cerebellum and the motor cortex is critical for motor function. Low-intensity transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) has been proved to directly activate cerebellar neural activity. However, whether and how TUS of the cerebellum modulates neural activity in the motor cortex is unclear.

Current epilepsy treatments include anti-seizure medications (ASMs), surgical interventions, and neuromodulation. However, achieving precise, non-invasive seizure control continues to pose a significant clinical challenge. Transcranial-focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with microbubbles (MBs) has been employed to enhance localized chemotherapy drug delivery for brain tumors, yet its potential for improving ASMs delivery and modulating epileptic excitability has yet to be investigated.
