Therapeutic ultrasound strategies that harness the mechanical activity of cavitation nuclei for
beneficial tissue bio-effects are actively under development. The mechanical oscillations of …

Biomedical acoustics is rapidly evolving from a diagnostic modality into a therapeutic tool,
and acoustic cavitation is often the common denominator in a wide range of new therapeutic …

Ultrasound‐induced bubble activity (cavitation) has been recently shown to actively
transport and improve the distribution of therapeutic agents in tumors. However, existing …

Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs and is a
popular research tool due to the inherent fluorescence of the DOX molecule. After DOX …

Acoustic cavitation has been shown to play a key role in a wide array of novel therapeutic
ultrasound applications. This paper presents a brief discussion of the physics of thermally …

Since Lynn and colleagues first described the use of focused ultrasound (FUS) waves for
intracranial ablation in 1942, many strides have been made toward the treatment of several …

This review focuses on phase‐shift perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions whose action depends
on an ultrasound‐triggered phase shift from a liquid to gas state. For drug‐loaded …

Liposome-based drug and gene delivery systems have potential for significant roles in a
variety of therapeutic applications. Recently, liposomes have been used to entrap gas and …

Acoustically driven bubbles produce a range of mechanical, thermal and chemical effects
that can be exploited in drug delivery applications. Significant improvements in the targeting …

Focused ultrasound offers a non-invasive way of depositing acoustic energy deep into the
body, which can be harnessed for a broad spectrum of therapeutic purposes, including …
