Gas-stabilizing nanoparticles for ultrasound imaging and therapy of cancer

Abstract The use of ultrasound in the clinic has been long established for cancer detection and image-guided tissue biopsies. In addition, ultrasound-based methods have been widely explored to develop more effective cancer therapies such as localized drug delivery, sonodynamic therapy, and focused u...
