High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is gaining rapid clinical acceptance as a treatment
modality enabling non-invasive tissue heating and ablation for numerous applications. HIFU …

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 …

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 …

Clinical trials have shown that hyperthermia (HT), ie an increase of tissue temperature to 39–
44° C, significantly enhance radiotherapy and chemotherapy effectiveness [1]. Driven by the …

Poor half-life, short circulation, systemic toxicity, insufficient accumulation, and ultimately
weak therapeutic response are the most important obstacles in the conventional …

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) represents a non-invasive approach for localized
treatment, wherein focused ultrasound waves are applied to specific tissues. However …

Purpose: To retrospectively assess the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging predictors of
success at reducing uterine leiomyoma volume and achieving patient symptom relief 12 …

Acoustic waves are dissipated when they pass through bubbly media. Dissipation by
bubbles takes place through thermal damping (Td), radiation damping (Rd), and damping …
