• Ultrasonic drug delivery – a general review (2004, background): “Such hyperthermia has been traditionally employed in physical therapy to warm tissues [1], in drug delivery to “melt” drug-containing liposomes [2], and in medical therapy to kill or ablate tissue [3–5].”
• Power Approaches for Implantable Medical Devices (2015, background): “The long-wavelength ultrasounds can penetrate deeper into the human body but cover an undesirable area, contrariwise the short-wavelength waves can focus on the desirable area but they cannot penetrate the desirable depth [127].”
