Enhancement of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Heating by Short-Pulse Generated Cavitation
A target tissue can be thermally coagulated in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment noninvasively. HIFU thermal treatments have been clinically applied to various solid tumors. One of the problems in HIFU treatments is a long treatment time. Acoustically driven microbubbles can acceler...
