| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aichi Medical University conducts fundamental research on Drug Delivery technology with a novel probe developed by AIST at Kochi University using a model animal with an eye to clinical application with an existing HIFU (MR guided) treatment device. To date, we have constructed an ultrasonic irradiation experiment system for model animal experiments to irradiate ultrasound for therapeutic treatment accurately to a joint part of a model animal, perform an irradiation experiment on an actual model animal, Presented at 15th Japan Society of Ultrasonic Therapy (JSTU2016) etc., received the Best Presentation Award of the Technical Committee, etc. We report on the concept of this research project and the results of research so far, and at the same time report from experts in ultrasonic therapy field to research I got a very high evaluation and valuable feedback.
