Article Abstract
Interest in transcranial MR imaging-guided focused ultrasound procedures has recently grown. These incisionless procedures enable precise focal ablation of brain tissue using real-time monitoring by MR thermometry. This article will provide an updated review on clinically applicable technical underpinnings and considerations of proton resonance frequency MR thermometry, the most common clinically used MR thermometry sequence.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a clinically challenging and refractory psychiatric disorder characterized by pathologically hyperactivated brain activity. Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) is considered a potentially non-invasive treatment for inducing inhibitory effects on the underlying cortex. Numerous studies showed an unsatisfactory efficacy of cTBS for OCD.

Importance: Bipolar disorder (BD) is chronic and disabling, with depression accounting for the majority of time with illness. Recent research demonstrated a transformative advance in the clinical efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD) using an accelerated schedule of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (aiTBS), but the effectiveness of this treatment for treatment-refractory BD is unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of aiTBS for treatment-refractory BD.

US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) system with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided (fMRI) individualized treatment protocol for major depressive disorder, which employs resting state-fMRI (RS-fMRI) functional connectivity (FC) to pinpoint the target individually to increase the accuracy and effeteness of the stimulation. Furthermore, task activation-guided TMS, as well as the use of RS-fMRI local metrics for targeted the specific abnormal brain regions, are considered a precise scheme for TMS targeting. Since 1.

Introduction: Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), targeting the language network in the right hemisphere of post-stroke aphasia (PSA) patients shows promising results in clinical trials. However, existing PSA studies have focused on single-target rTMS, leaving unexplored the potential benefits of multitarget brain stimulation. Consequently, there is a need for a randomised clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cTBS targeting on multiple critical nodes in the language network for PSA.

In vivo near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) are emerging optical bioimaging modalities, which can provide information on blood vessels morphology, volume and the blood flow velocity. Optical tissue clearing (OTC) technique addresses a light scattering problem in optical bioimaging, which is imperative for the transcranial brain imaging. Herein, we report an approach combining NIR fluorescence and LSC microscopy imaging with OTC.
