Schematic of the MRI-guided FUS system and experimental design. (A) The animal is in supine position with its head submerged in water tank. The focal area is targeted with MR image guidance and PC-controlled positioning system. (B) Experimental design for investigating the effects of FUS–BBBD on water transport. T2-weighted MR images were obtained to locate the focal region before the sonication, and T1-weighted images and diffusion tensor images were acquired for each time slot (5 min, 24 and 48 h) after the FUS–BBBD. Sprague–Dawley rats were sacrificed and perfused for staining after 48 h after the sonication.
