| Abstract: |
The transport of drugs into tumor cells near the center of the tumor is known to be severely hindered due to the high interstitial pressure and poor vascularization. The aim of this work is to investigate the possibility to induce acoustic streaming in a tumor. Two tumor cases (breast and abdomen) are simulated to find the acoustic streaming and temperature rise, while varying the focused ultrasound transducer radius, frequency, and power for a constant duty cycle (1%). In the absence of perfusion, the simulated rise in temperature, despite the low duty cycle, never reaches a steady state and is fitted to a logarithmic equation, enabling predictions of the temperature for long treatment times. Higher frequencies and larger probe radii are found to result in shorter treatment times relative to the temperature rise, at the cost of a smaller treated area. Results from the simulations indicate that it may be possible to achieve reasonable acoustic streaming values in tumor without the temperature exceeding 50 °C. Treatment times for streaming a distance of 50 μm in the breast case are shown to range from less than one and a half hour to 93 h, depending on the probe settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
