Enhanced mechanical damage to in vitro cancer cells by high-intensity-focused ultrasound in the presence of microbubbles and titanium dioxide

Conclusion Immediate in vitro cell killing was observed with short pulsed duration HIFU sonication with a combination of microbubbles and TiO2. This finding suggests that TiO2 could have caused enhanced mechanical cell destruction by microbubbles.
