Blood-brain barrier disruption and delivery of irinotecan in a rat model using a clinical transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound system

Abstract We investigated controlled blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption using a low-frequency clinical transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound (TcMRgFUS) device and evaluated enhanced delivery of irinotecan chemotherapy to the brain and a rat glioma model. Animals received three weekly sessions...
