Abstract

Methods to use medical imaging to monitor the molecule penetration into CNS during ultrasound-mediated delivery are disclosed. The method states a two-step process to predict the amount of molecular penetration which is based on the observation of medical imaging. The first is to propose a unified exposure input to unify the exposure condition so as to build a transferred relation to imaging index. The second is to propose a unified imaging index to unify the imaging readout so as to build a reliable transferred relation to molecular concentration. Linking these two, the molecular penetration induced by ultrasound irradiation can be estimated from medical imaging with ultrasound exposure conditions and molecular sizes.
