Session Type: Educational Session

Ultrasound in Neuroscience: Sensing, Imaging, Modulation, and/or Therapy

Tuesday, April 9, 2024

9:00am - 10:30am

Location:400-402

CE: 1.5

Traditionally, ultrasound has not been used in the brain due to the challenges of the skull. However, advances in novel imaging and therapy applications has broken through this barrier. This education session will explore the wide array of clinical applications now available and new applications being investigated in pre-clinical and clinical studies.
