The effects on thermal lesion shape and size from bubble clouds produced by acoustic droplet vaporization

Abstract Background Bubbles formed by acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) have proven to be an effective method for significant enlargement of the thermal lesions produced by high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). We investigated the influences of bubble cloud shape and droplet concentration on H...
