Sonosensitive nanoparticle formulations for cavitation-mediated ultrasonic enhancement of local drug delivery

Abstract:

Inertial cavitation, namely the rapid expansion and subsequent violent collapse of micron-sized cavities under the effect of ultrasound-induced pressure variations, has widely been considered as an undesirable phenomenon for in-vivo biomedical applications. This is mainly because of its highly stochastic nature and difficulties in its reliable initiation in vivo using moderate ultrasound pressure levels. Methods of lowering the pressure required to initiate cavitation, which is known as the c...
