Introduction

Purpose Thermal ablation
Study Objective To investigate localized brain injury induced by intensively focused ultrasound in cats and compare the responses of white and gray matter.
Animal model / Human subject Cat (Felis catus); strain not specified; age not specified; sex not specified
Disease model localized brain injury

Outcomes and Safety

Summary of Outcomes Intensively focused ultrasound produced localized brain injury in cats, with gray and white matter exhibiting different responses (differential susceptibility to damage). Specific focused ultrasound parameters tested and which were successful are not provided in the supplied text.
Safety-related matter The paper's title reports localized injury of the cat brain caused by intensively focused ultrasound, indicating an adverse effect; no further safety details or additional adverse-event information are provided in the supplied text.
