Guiding and Accumulation of Magnetic Nanoparticles Employing High Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Drug Targeting Applications
Magnetic Drug Targeting (MDT) is a cancer treatment technique that enables a local chemotherapy. In MDT, chemotherapeutic drugs are bound to magnetic nanoparticles and are accumulated in the tumor area by means of an external magnetic field. Unfortunately, a single magnet can only generate a pulling...
