Synthesizing complex 3D acoustic fields for targeted noninvasive therapy.

Complementing our real-time monitoring frameworks, our laboratory develops advanced transmit wavefront synthesis technologies to generate complex 3D pressure fields within heterogeneous tissue. We engineer platforms that correct trans-skull phase and amplitude distortions to tailor acoustic energy deposition with sub-millimeter precision. These spatial wave-shaping capabilities enable multi-foci targeting, conformal acoustic painting of irregular volumes, and precise field shaping around delicate anatomical structures. By synthesizing optimized wavefronts prior to transmission, these beamforming strategies expand the spatial reach of focused ultrasound— ensuring uniform therapeutic targeting across complex volumes while shielding adjacent critical tissue.
