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:

• 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.
