Cavitation Induced by Janus-Like Mesoporous Silicon Nanoparticles Enhances Ultrasound Hyperthermia

The presence of nanoparticles lowers the levels of ultrasound (US) intensity needed to achieve the therapeutic effect and improves the contrast between healthy and pathological tissues. Here, we evaluate the role of two main mechanisms that contribute to the US-induced heating of aqueous suspensions...
