This jet mechanism does not destroy the bubble, meaning that a new microjet can form with each ultrasound cycle. "An ...

While the mechanism is still unclear, it is possible that the stimulation caused by ultrasound soundwaves may enhance synaptic activity and improve brain function, speculates Leinenga.

Now, a group of ETH researchers, led by Outi Supponen, a professor at the Institute of Fluid Dynamics, have been able to demonstrate for the first time how this mechanism works. “We were able to show ...

sonolysis' mechanism of benefit, and its cost-effectiveness. There were clinical benefits to putting patients under a steady ultrasound beam during carotid endarterectomy, the phase III sham ...
