Treating a Brain Tumor with “Ultrasonic screwdriver”

The new technological developments to diagnose and treat brain diseases is amazing! I am very interested in the high definition Fiber tracking and MR tracktology that Cottage Hospital is using to diagnose brain damage.

This article about treating brain tumors is extremely interesting. Scientists Have Breached The Blood-Brain Barrier For The First Time And Treated A Brain Tumor Using An “Ultrasonic Screwdriver” The technique allows the chemo to directly target the tumor behind the blood brain barrier. This is the first time it has been trialed on a human patient and it is a huge improvement over the technique trialed last year. It does require an invasive procedure of placing an ultra emitter into the brain.

Im sure there is a lot more to develop and perfect but it’s hopeful that technology is trying to pass the blood brain barrier to treat brain tumors.
