So long as you avoid boil<strong>in</strong>g temperatures, controlled <strong>in</strong>ertial<br />
cavitation can still <strong>of</strong>fer therapeutic value<br />
“Gentler” heat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong>/or non-thermal effects may be desirable<br />
<br />
<br />
Heat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> sensitive regions<br />
Thrombolysis, , drug delivery, non-thermal tissue disruption<br />
Real-time feedback for tun<strong>in</strong>g the bubble field<br />
<br />
Control via duty cycle, pressure schedule, multiple frequencies<br />
Why isn’t t this currently be done <strong>in</strong> vivo?<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are no cavitation nuclei <strong>in</strong> tissue!<br />
Nuclei are essential <strong>and</strong> may need to be <strong>in</strong>troduced externally<br />
(contrast agents, etc.)<br />
