6th International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound (AIP Conference Proceedings)

All papers have been peer reviewed. The 6th International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound is the annual meeting of the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound. The conference embraced low power and high power techniques, including non-invasive tissue ablation for cancer therapy, treatment of stroke, haemostasis, ultrasound-enhanced drug delivery and gene therapy. Topics discussed include: Therapeutic ultrasound; ultrasound calibration; dosimetry; exposimetry; ultrasound field characterization; ultrasound transducers, high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU); acoustic haemostasis; thrombolysis; heating; hyerpethermia; ablation; acoustic cavitation; inertial cavitation; stable cavitation; treatment guidance; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); tissue phantoms; liver kidney prostate cancer; sonodymamic therapy; ultrasound contrast agent; targeted drug delivery; microbubbles; liposome; nanoemulsion; sonoporation; sonotransfection; gene transfer; gene delivery; transcranial; blood-brain barrier disruption.
