By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originatin g from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inve ntors DURYEA, Alexander P. (Ann Arbor, MI, US); EDSALL, Connor (Ann Arbor, MI, U S); GERHARDSON, Tyler I. (Ann Arbor, MI, US), filed on October 30, 2023, was mad e available online on May 9, 2024.No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Histotripsy, or pulsed ultrasound cavitation therapy, is a te chnology where extremely short, intense bursts of acoustic energy induce control led cavitation (microbubble formation) within the focal volume. The vigorous exp ansion and collapse of these microbubbles mechanically homogenizes cells and tis sue structures within the focal volume. This is a very different end result than the coagulative necrosis characteristic of thermal ablation. To operate within a non-thermal, Histotripsy realm; it is necessary to deliver acoustic energy in the form of high amplitude acoustic pulses with low duty cycle.
