The long-term goal of this project is to develop, build and bring to the market an acoustic system for highly accurate focusing ultrasound to selected sites in the brain to improve convection enhanced drug delivery, which is a promising new therapy for the treatment of brain disorders, including brain tumors. The technology developed in the project will improve the efficacy of the therapy, which eventually should lead to better outcomes in patients suffering from a variety of brain malignancies.
