use of perfluorkohlenwasserstoffen for the manufacture of potenzierungsmitteln for ultraschallvermittelte hyperthermiebehandlung of biological tissues

摘要

Gas, gaseous precursors and prefluorocarbons are presented as novel potentiators for ultrasonic hyperthermia. The gas, gaseous precursors and perfluorocarbons which may be administered into the vasculature, interstitially or into any body cavity are designed to accumulate in cancerous and diseased tissues. When therapeutic ultrasonic energy is applied to the diseased region heating is increased because of the greater effectiveness of sound energy absorption caused by these agents.
