Effect of a Radiotherapeutic Megavoltage Beam on Ultrasound Contrast Agents

Effect of a Radiotherapeutic Megavoltage Beam on Ultrasound Contrast Agents

Collateral damage to healthy surrounding tissue during conventional radiotherapy increases when deviations from the treatment plan occur. Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) are a possible candidate for radiation dose monitoring. This study investigated the size distribution and acoustic response of t...
