Acoustic droplet vaporization threshold : effects of pulse duration and contrast agent

The use of superheated liquid perfluorocarbon droplets encased in albumin shells has been proposed as a minimally invasive alternative to current treatment of cancer by means of occlusion therapy. In response to an applied acoustic field, these droplets, which are small enough to pass through capill...
