MRI-Free CT-to-Ultrasound Skull Registration in Transcranial Focused Ultrasound using CMUT based Integrated Therapeutic and Imaging Arrays
Reza Pakdaman Zangabad, Sai Vikas Satyanarayana, Costas D. Arvanitis +1
Accurate skull-to-array registration is essential for transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) because CT-derived skull models must be aligned with the physical-array coordinate syst…
A Reconfigurable Pipelined-SAR ADC with Embedded Compression for Temporal Compressed-Sensing Ultrasound Imaging
Reza Pakdaman Zangabad, Xitie Zhang, Levent Degertekin +1
Compact ultrasound imaging systems are increasingly constrained by receiver-side sampling, conversion, memory, and data-transfer requirements. This work presents a compressed-sensi…
A CMUT-Based Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Platform for Blood-Brain Barrier Opening in Small Animal Models
Sait Kilinc, Reza Pakdaman Zangabad, Victor Menezes +3
Drug delivery to the brain is limited by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We developed a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT)-based transcranial focused ultrasound s…
Quantitative acoustic monitoring of ensembles of weakly nonlinear microbubble oscillations in optically inaccessible environments
Hohyun Lee, Reza Pakdaman Zangabad, Chulyong Kim +4
A growing class of ultrasound-mediated diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, including sonoporation and blood-brain barrier modulation, relies on microbubble contrast agents, wh…
