Focused ultrasound drug delivery to brain depends on particle size, study finds

Researchers at the University of Virginia used a novel MRI technique to show that the effectiveness of focused ultrasound in delivering drugs across the blood–brain barrier depends on particle size, with an optimal range of 15–23 nanometers.
