MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS)-mediated opening of the BBB. a Schematic showing the relative position of the rat head and brain with respect to the transducer face and the resultant sonication focus (red ellipse) in the brain. Typical results after BBB opening assessed by post-contrast T1w MRI (presented in the native resolution of the MRI) in the b coronal and c sagittal planes demonstrate contrast crossing the BBB in three sonication foci (red arrows) in the left hemisphere. Dashed lines indicate the plane of the right, sagittal (magenta) and the middle, coronal (cyan) images (Color figure online).
