TL;DR: Horsburgh et al. as mentioned in this paper used a laser scattering technique to obtain radius-time curves of a single gas bubble at pressure amplitudes on the order of 150 kPa (1.5 atm) at 21-25 kHz.

TL;DR: It is shown that inertial cavitation can help address some of the major challenges of HIFU therapy by providing a means of enhancing and monitoring treatment noninvasively.

TL;DR: Models for how different types of cavitation activity can serve to accelerate tissue heating are presented, and results suggest that the bulk of the enhanced heating effect can be attributed to the absorption of broadband acoustic emissions generated by inertial cavitation.

TL;DR: Evidence for the hypothesis that cavitation bubble activity in the focal zone is the cause of enhanced heating is presented and discussed, and mechanisms for bubble-assisted heating are presented and modeled, and quantitative estimates for the thermal power generated by viscous dissipation and bubble acoustic radiation are given.

TL;DR: The role of both inertial and stable cavitation was investigated during in vitro ultrasound-accelerated fibrinolysis by recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in the presence and absence of Optison, indicating a potentially important role of stable rather than inertial cavitation in microbubble-enhanced ultrasound-ACcelerated rt-PA-mediated thrombolysis.
