Enhanced Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation System ID: 2022-016

A revolutionary medical device that improves the precision and effectiveness of ultrasound neuromodulation treatments.

Technology Overview

This technology comprises a custom electromagnet, an MRI scanner, and an ultrasound transducer designed to non-invasively quantify acoustic pressure waves as they move through the body, specifically targeting the brain. It addresses the challenge of unpredictable acoustic pulse properties—like amplitude and frequency—modified by the skull, enhancing the accuracy of focused ultrasound neuromodulation.

Key Advantages

• Improves precision in focused ultrasound treatments by accurately quantifying acoustic pressure waves
• Overcomes limitations of previous electromagnet designs by reducing heat production and improving directional sensitivity
• Adapted for safe use in humans, avoiding excess heat production and ensuring patient safety
• Integrates seamlessly with MRI systems to measure and adjust the acoustic field inside a patient's head, aiding surgeons in treatment alignment

Problems Addressed

• Unpredictability of acoustic pulse properties during ultrasound neuromodulation due to skull interference
• Limited directional sensitivity and excessive heat production of past electromagnet designs
• Difficulty in non-invasively quantifying acoustic pressure waves within the brain

Market Applications

• Hospital and clinical settings for enhanced precision in ultrasound neuromodulation treatments
• Integration within MRI systems for real-time adjustment of acoustic fields during treatments
• Potential expansion to diagnostic applications, such as measuring the spatial extent of brain tumors
