Ultrasound Guided Focused Ultrasound (USgFUS) Research
FUS 3D Graphic User Interface (GUI)
Verasonics Systems provides 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.
Verasonics Systems enable interleaved imaging between therapy pulses and imaging pulses to guide and monitor treatment using just one system.
A wide range of power output levels provides 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.
Focused Ultrasound Transducers
Verasonics offers six FUS transducer pairings. These transducer pairings are designed to advance biomedical research in ultrasound-guided focused ultrasound (USgFUS).
The FUS transducers offer high efficiency over a broad bandwidth and highly uniform acoustic output at the radiating surface, ideal for focused ultrasound applications. Coupled with a high-resolution phased array transducer mounted coaxially, these transducer pairings provide users with an ideal combination for this level of research and experimentation.
Verasonics solutions are used worldwide at numerous institutions and companies for focused ultrasound research and product development. The Vantage and Vantage NXT systems are available in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) configurations, which enable both energy delivery and imaging using the same transmitters, for flexible and comprehensive exploration with this technology.
