Abstract:
Transcranial focused ultrasound therapy emerged as a uniquely versatile modality for non-invasive neuromodulation for the treatment of a range of neurological conditions and neuropsychiatric disorders. This work is intended to provide practitioners with fundamental background information directly relevant to the current application in this field, allowing them to critically interpret the literature and understand the technical and methodological considerations that underlie device operation, treatment planning and study parameter evaluation.

01:20Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
