Additional information
For the first time it was shown that changes in tissue properties associated with focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) can be detected in real-time using acousto-optics. This addresses a major barrier for FUS and will enhance its use in treating cancer. A PhD student from Boston has been awarded a Whitaker Fellowship to spend one year in Oxford on acoustic-optic detection using the clinical FUS machine at the Churchill Hospital. This work was instrumental in getting an EPSRC healthcare technologies challenge award "Radio and sound waves to image cancer treatment" (EP/K02020X/1, £1m, 03/2013-02/2016) .
