The effect of temperature and viscoelasticity on cavitation dynamics during ultrasonic ablation.

Inertial cavitation has been shown to enhance heating rates during high intensity focused ultrasound treatments. Cavitation dynamics will be affected by heating and by the changes in mechanical properties of tissue resultant from thermal denaturation; however, the nature of the change is not known a...
