2019 Chen Lab Retreat
Author: Vince Ruppert
Our work is highlighted by NIH NIBIB!
Ultrasound imaging can monitor the exact drug dose and delivery site in the brain Science Highlights June 17, 2019 An ultrasound imaging technique called passive cavitation imaging was able to create an image and estimate the amount of a drug that crossed the blood-brain barrier to reach a specific location in the brain, according to a study by NIBIB-funded […]
