Focused Ultrasound

Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a critical technological advancement making important, growing impacts on research innovations in healthcare. At Verasonics, we offer state-of-the-art Vantage NXT Research Ultrasound System, designed to help scientists and researchers unleash the full potential of FUS.

What is Focused Ultrasound?

Focused ultrasound is a non-invasive therapeutic technology that uses high-frequency sound waves to affect specific tissues with pinpoint accuracy. Research using FUS is already revolutionizing the treatment of some cancers, neurological disorders, and chronic pain.

How does Focused Ultrasound work?

Focused ultrasound works by concentrating high-frequency sound waves into a specific location inside the body. These sound waves create precise thermal or mechanical energy that can stimulate immune response, suppress nerve signals, and, at high power, can destroy targeted tissue without harming surrounding healthy tissue. Research advancements using this form of therapy have been developed via our fully programmable Vantage NXT Systems, which provide the flexibility and control required to advance research into many areas of FUS.

Vantage NXT Research Ultrasound Systems and FUS research

Verasonics solutions provide the ability to perform research on Ultrasound-guided Focused Ultrasound (USgFUS) techniques that are faster, less expensive, and more versatile than competing techniques that require MRI for guidance.

Vantage NXT Systems offer the ability to interleave imaging with therapy pulses to guide and monitor treatment using just one system. A wide range of power output levels provide flexibility for investigation into many therapeutic approaches, plus these solutions offer a range of channel options that give the user flexibility to utilize a wide range of transducers for convenient optimization of USgFUS.

Finally, Verasonics has solved many of the basic problems researchers face when assembling a USgFUS solution for their work, allowing focus on study goals instead of product acquisition and configuration. These are just some of the benefits Verasonics brings to focused ultrasound research.
