Overview
Focused ultrasound is a non-invasive, therapeutic technology aiming to improve the quality of life at lower costs for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
Focused Ultrasound Therapy: [1] [2] [3] [4]
- Non-invasive, therapeutic technology aiming to improve the quality of life with lower costs for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
- Beams of ultrasonic energy focus precisely and accurately on targets deep in the brain without damaging surrounding normal tissue.
- Ultrasound produces a variety of therapeutic effects eliminating the need for incisions or radiation at the focus where beams converge.
- Preclinical studies have have shown promising results with the potential of focused ultrasound in enhancing the delivery of therapeutic drugs or antibodies to the brain.
- Focused ultrasound in combination with microbubbles can safely open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) thereby enabling enhanced delivery of anti-amyloid antibodies to the brain. This method may reduce the number of plaques and improve cognition in Alzheimer’s disease subjects.
