Abstract:ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the treatment effects of acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) on tumors.MethodsExperiments were conducted on subcutaneous C6 glioma implanted in 37 rats. Twenty‐five rats were divided into five groups treated by ultrasound (US) + dodecafluoropentane (DDFP), US + microbubble (MB), US, DDFP, or saline, respectively. ADV was performed using DDFP droplets (2–5 μm) triggered by non‐focused pulsed ultrasound. Macroscopic and histological changes of the tumor wer… Show more
