Abstract:Although it has been demonstrated that High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can induce vascular cauterization, acoustic hemostasis technology has not been successful in making the transition from proof-of-concept to clinical settings. One reason for this lack of acceptance is the limited understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in ultrasound-vessel and ultrasound-blood interactions. The aim of this research was to investigate the hematological and biochemical mechanisms which are influenced by … 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.
