Abstract

This study reports on the development and the first experimental assessment of a custom ultrasound pre-clinical platform developed for diagnosis and targeted therapy. Moreover, a specific dual-mode probe developed for our application is based on cMUT technology. The platform combines two operating modes: high frequency imaging in the 15-20 MHz frequency range and low frequency focused ultrasound at 1 MHz for local therapy.
