Shape-recovery of implanted shape-memory devices remotely triggered via image-guided ultrasound heating
Abstract Shape-memory materials hold great potential to impart medical devices with functionalities useful during implantation, locomotion, drug delivery, and removal. However, their clinical translation is limited by a lack of non-invasive and precise methods to trigger and control the shape recove...
