INVESTIGATION OF BUBBLE DYNAMICS AND HEATING DURING FOCUSED ULTRASOUND INSONATION IN TISSUE-MIMICKING MATERIALS

Yang, Xinmai (2010-11-10)

The deposition of ultrasonic energy in tissue can cause tissue damage due to local heating. For pressures above a critical threshold, cavitation will occur in tissue and bubbles will be created. These oscillating bubbles ...
THE ROLE OF ACOUSTIC CAVITATION IN ENHANCED ULTRASOUND-INDUCED HEATING IN A TISSUE-MIMICKING PHANTOM

Edson, Patrick Lee (Boston University, 2001)

A complete understanding of high-intensity focused ultrasound-induced temperature changes in tissue requires insight into all potential mechanisms for heat deposition. Applications of therapeutic ultrasound often utilize ...
