Molecular and histological effects of MR-guided pulsed focused ultrasound to the rat heart
Abstract Background Image-guided high intensity focused ultrasound has been used as an extracorporeal cardiac pacing tool and to enhance homing of stem cells to targeted tissues. However, molecular changes in the myocardium after sonication have not been widely investigated. Magnetic-resonance (MR)-...
