Enhanced thermal effect using magnetic nano-particles during high-intensity focused ultrasound.

Enhanced thermal effect using magnetic nano-particles during high-intensity focused ultrasound.

Collateral damage and long sonication times occurring during high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation procedures limit clinical advancement. In this reserarch, we investigated whether the use of magnetic nano-particles (mNPs) can reduce the power required to ablate tissue or, for the same p...
