FLUOCARBON EMULSION ACTIVATOR FOR HIGHLY INTENSIVE FOCUSED ULTRASOUND THERAPY AND ITS APPLICATION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61K49/22 A61K9/127 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine and medical therapy, to sphere of ultrasound therapy. Fluocarbon emulsion activator for highly-intensive focused ultrasound therapy (HIFU therapy) is described, which can increase sound therapy deposition at the target during HIFU therapy. The activator contains an internal phase consisting of nuclear substance encapsulated in membrane forming substance and continuous phase consisting of water medium. Internal phase is uniformly dispersed in continuous phase, particle size in the internal phase being within 0.1-1 mcm; the amount of membrane forming substance in the activator being 0.1-100 g/k; nuclear substance consists of liquid with liquid-gas transition within the range of 38-100°C, and nuclear substance in the activator amounts to 5-200 ml/l. The result is improved clinical HIFU therapy potential in cancer cells removal without affecting healthy tissues within the ultrasound path.

EFFECT: invention discloses application of fluocarbon emulsion activator for HIFU therapy in the course of HIFU therapy.
