Researchers have developed a new tool and technique that uses "vortex ultrasound"—a sort of ultrasonic tornado—to break down blood clots in the brain. The new approach worked more quickly than ...

Scientists have devised a method of non-invasively tearing the objects apart, using swirling sound waves called "acoustic vortex beams." The treatment of kidney stones could soon be getting much ...

The ultrasound can then be used to move and reposition the stones to promote their passage, a process called ultrasound propulsion, or to break up the stone, a technique called burst wave ...

The new approach by US universities, including a team at North Carolina State University (NC State), was used to eliminate clots formed in an in vitro model of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).
