Ultrasound vs. MRI: new brain imaging method put to the test
NCT ID NCT07222865
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to test a new brain imaging technique called transcranial functional ultrasound (tFUS) and compare it with standard functional MRI. Researchers planned to see if tFUS could detect brain activity changes during tasks or during low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants.
