Resonance-guided vaporization may provide new ways of treating tumors – News-Medical.Net

Sending tiny droplets to a tumor and having them vaporized using focused ultrasound: it could be a new way of tracing a tumor or deliver drugs locally.
Researchers of the University of Twente in The Netherlands now demonstrate a new phenomenon triggering droplet vaporization: it happens at the exact acoustic resonance frequency and causes fast and efficient lowering of the pressure inside the droplet, until below the threshold value for vaporization. The findings are in Physical Review Letters.
