Due to ultrasound’s focusing capability at depth, noninvasive cancer treatment may be possible. Acoustically driven cavitation can cause tissue necrosis as a result of microbubble destruction. These microbubbles are also known as cavitation nuclei. In this study, we concentrate on the following two topics related to acoustic cavitation: induction and detection. For induction, acoustic cavitation is difficult to control and predict without injection of microbubbles, because concentration of the inherent cavitation nuclei is low and the distribution is not uniform. Ultrasound contrast agent can provide a sufficient concentration of cavitation nuclei and the strong backscattering property can also be used for detection. In this study, liposomal microbubbles and Levovist® were used as the cavitation nuclei. The center frequency was 1 MHz and the maximum rarefactional pressure was 1.6 MPa. Two methods for efficient induction of cavitation were proposed: the cascade method and the superposition method. The cascade method cascades a signal at the bubbles resonance frequency with a signal at a lower frequency for destruction. The superimposition method adds a signal at its resonance frequency with a signal at the subharmonic frequency. For detection, the wide-band signal induced by cavitation was measured and used to detect cavitation. The signal was also correlated with the video intensity in B-mode. A 10 MHz transducer was used to avoid the interference from the harmonics. An experimental system was built. Simulation tools for cavitation were also developed based Rayleigh-Plesset equations and the Runge-Kutta method were adopted to calculate radius of the microbubbles. Both simulations and experimental results show that cavitation can be more efficiently induced using both the proposed methods. The long-term objective of this research is to develop innovative therapeutic technologies for efficient cancer treatment in combination with liposomal capabilities of targeting and drug delivery.目錄 第一章 緒論 1 1.1 前言 1 1.2 超音波治療上應用之演進 3 1.3 穴蝕效應 5 1.4穴蝕效應之超音波治療 7 1.5 研究動機與目標 8 1.6 論文架構 10 第二章 模擬方法與結果 11 2.1 Rayleigh-Plesset方程式 11 2.2 微氣泡半徑對聲壓之響應 16 2.3 發射波形設計 19 2.4 模擬結果 20 2.4.1 串接法 20 2.4.2 重疊法 22 第三章 實驗方法與結果 25 3.1 誘發方法 25 3.1.1 對比劑 25 3.2 偵測方法 28 3.2.1 影像亮度法 28 3.2.2 ICD法 29 3.3 實驗系統架構 31 3.3.1 實驗用仿體 31 3.3.2 實驗系統架構 31 3.4 實驗設計及結果 34 3.4.1 聲壓vs. 穴蝕效應 34 3.4.2 週期數vs. 穴蝕效應 35 3.4.3 串接法 36 3.4.4 重疊法 37 第四章 分析與討論 41 4.1 影像亮度法與ICD法之結果分析與討論 41 4.2 串接法 44 4.2.1 串接法模擬之討論 44 4.3 重疊法 49 4.4 微氣泡殼層參數 51 第五章 結論及未來工作 54 參考文獻 57 附錄 微脂體的製作方法 651170385 bytesapplication/pdfen-US超音波腫瘤治療微脂體微氣泡穴蝕核穴蝕效應ultrasoundmicrobubblescavitation nucleicancer therapycavitationliposome[SDGs]SDG3thesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/52951/1/ntu-93-R91921097-1.pdf
