title: Laser-enhanced cavitation during high intensity focused ultrasound: Anin vivostudy.
abstract: Laser-enhanced cavitation during high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) was studiedin vivousing a small animal model. Laser light was employed to illuminate the sample concurrently with HIFU radiation. The resulting cavitation was detected with a passive cavitation detector. Thein vivomeasurements were made under different combinations of HIFU treatment depths, laser wavelengths, and HIFU durations. The results demonstrated that concurrent light illumination during HIFU has the potential to enhance cavitation effect by reducing cavitation thresholdin vivo.
