PFOB sonosensitive microdroplets: determining their interaction radii with focused ultrasound using MR thermometry and a Gaussian convolution kernel computation

PFOB sonosensitive microdroplets: determining their interaction radii with focused ultrasound using MR thermometry and a Gaussian convolution kernel computation

Purpose: Micron-sized perfluorocarbon droplet adjuvants to focused ultrasound therapies allow lower applied power, circumvent unwanted prefocal heating, and enhance thermal dose in highly perfused tissues. The heat enhancement has been shown to saturate at increasing concentrations. Experiments were...
