METHOD AND SYSTEM OF RADIOTHERAPY ENHANCEMENT THROUGH CELLULAR PERTURBATION USING ULTRASOUND AND MICROBUBBLES

摘要

An embodiment of the invention is related to a system for providing radiotherapy to a treatment region. The system includes a radiation source and a sound source. The radiation source is positioned to irradiate the treatment region. The sound source is positioned to provide ultrasound to the treatment region so that the treatment region is subject to coincidental treatment by irradiation and ultrasound.
