Abstract:High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) causes selective tissue necrosis through heating and is used for a noninvasive treatment of cancer therapy. However, it has a problem of a long treatment time for a large tumor. To improve the throughput of the treatment, the development of a highly efficient method is needed. It is known that cavitation bubbles enhance the heating effect of ultrasound during ultrasonic irradiation because the increase in the energy dissipation is caused by the volumetric oscillation of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
