Computational modeling of thermal combination therapies by magneto-ultrasonic heating to enhance drug delivery to solid tumors

Abstract For the first time, inspired by magnetic resonance imaging-guidance high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) technology, i.e., medication therapy and thermal ablation in one session, in a preclinical setting based on a developed mathematical model, the performance of doxorubicin (Dox) an...
