Accelerated Tissue Heating from Inertial Cavitation Produced by High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
Friday, February 25, 2005 4:00 p.m. Professor Ronald A. Roy Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Boston University http://www.bu.edu/ame Rapid tissue heating resulting in necrosis is a useful therapeutic modality for clinical application of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). At therapeutic intensities, acoustic hyperthermia is often accompanied by bubble activity. In vitro and in vivo experiments…
