Ultrasound is a unique and exciting theranostic modality that can be used to track drug
carriers, trigger drug release and improve drug deposition with high spatial precision. In this …

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 …

In vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the positive role that ultrasound can play in
the enhancement of fracture healing or in the reactivation of a failed healing process. We …

Recently, an interest has developed in designing biomaterials for medical ultrasonics that
can provide the acoustic activity of microbubbles, but with improved stability in vivo and a …

Phase-change contrast agents (PCCAs) for ultrasound-based applications have resulted in
novel ways of approaching diagnostic and therapeutic techniques beyond what is possible …

Currently available microbubbles used for ultrasound imaging and therapeutics are limited
to intravascular space due to their size distribution in the micron range. Phase-change …

Because many tumors possess blood vessels permeable to particles with diameters of 200
nm, it is possible that submicron perfluorocarbon droplets could constitute a novel …

The development of phase-shift droplets has broadened the scope of ultrasound-based
biomedical applications. When subjected to sufficient acoustic pressures, the …

Recently, the use of ultrasound (US) has been shown to have potential in cancer
immunotherapy. High intensity focused US destruction of tumors may lead to immunity …

Therapeutic ultrasound has been used to thermally ablate solid tumors since the 90s, and a
variety of cancers are presently being treated clinically, taking advantage of ultrasound-or …
