NON-CAVITATIONAL MECHANICAL PULSED ULTRASOUND THERAPY
WARF: P220316US02
Inventors: John-Paul Yu
The Invention
A UW-Madison researcher has developed a technique for mechanical manipulation of biological tissues. Short ultrasound pulses or bursts, delivered at intermediate intensity to the target tissue transmits acoustic radiation forces into the targeted tissue without generating acoustic cavitation and without cellular fractionization. Thus, the present invention exploits the mechanical effects of high-intensity pressure fields only, without cavitation, by optimizing the interaction between acoustic pulses and radiation forces to apply mechanical forces to tissue to generate a broad spectrum of desired and varied bioeffects.
