This book highlights advances and prospects of a highly versatile and dynamic research field:
Therapeutic ultrasound. Leading experts in the field describe a wide range of topics related to
the development of therapeutic ultrasound (i.e. high intensity focused ultrasound
microbubble-assisted ultrasound drug delivery low intensity pulsed ultrasound
ultrasound-sensitive nanocarriers) ranging from the biophysical concepts (i.e. tissue
ablation drug and gene delivery neuromodulation) to therapeutic applications (i.e.
chemotherapy sonodynamic therapy sonothrombolysis immunotherapy lithotripsy vaccination).
This book is an indispensable source of information for students researchers and clinicians
dealing with non-invasive image-guided ultrasound-based therapeutic interventions in the fields
of oncology neurology cardiology and nephrology.
