IDENTIFYING AND MONITORING THE ROLES OF CAVITATION IN HEATING FROM HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND

Farny, Caleb Hooper (Boston University, 2007)

For high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to continue to gain acceptance for cancer treatment it is necessary to understand how the applied ultrasound interacts with gas trapped in the tissue. The presence of bubbles ...
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 ...
