The use of optically activated nanoparticles to enhance controlled lesion formation from high intensity focused ultrasound exposures
Light-absorbing nanoparticles can be used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the thermoelastic emissions from tissue that are used in photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and microscopy (PAM). Nanoparticles can be functionalized to selectively target cancer cells and destroy them through the formatio...
